I felt a little bit used by this film realizing how the “coincidence” scene at the beginning was used to set up the weird occurrence at the end. I’m not sure the filmmaker actually understood the difference between coincidence (an occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance) and just a bizarre, unlikely occurrence.
I’m also not sure the film really needed to be three hours long. And Tom Cruise creeped me out big time.
In spite of all that, I still think the film was worth it. Good music, some good tension, some interesting characters, and it left me thinking about monogamy, family, and love.

Wish it had ended after “Wise Up”... final redemptive third wasn’t necessary for me personally

I love weird movies, but this was crap. Phillip Seymour Hoffman and William H Macy are two of my favorite actors, but I was soooooooooo disappointed in this film. Perhaps it was the Tom Cruise cooties that ruined it for me.

This is my favorite movie because life is strange, painful, and beautiful.

There were also great music in the movie

A wonderful story about humans being.

Something akin to “American Beauty”’s teatise on what we are willing to do for happiness and belonging and feeling wanted.
