I generally classify “movies I’d recommend” into two categories: (1)the films that are just a blast to watch, and during which I find myself completely engrossed/enthralled/terrified etc. (2) the films I find myself thinking about and questioning for a while after the film-watching experience. This film falls into the latter category.

One scene that was particularly memorable and mentioned in the previous write-up was a scene where “Reese” drowns a small orange kitten in a duffel bag. For several days afterward, I couldn’t get the imagery of this scene out of my head. Its brutality and honesty were haunting in a very refreshing way… I think that you’ll find the rest of the film follows suit in presenting very real, very true characters full of flaws and tender fallibilities that are so much a part of the world around us. Great cast, great meditation on life and family.

Not a feel-good film. :)
