Couldn't help but start this one by explaining a few things, what can I say - I'm a sick guy. Anyhow, I hate the way Kristen Stewart acts, I hate her face and I hate her blank expression in every emotion that she tries to display. She's no different in this one, yet she's a rising star.
The movie itself is an excellent example of how things will always be pretty much as they are, and that lives shouldn't be trifled with. It just shows that people don't have the ability to change. Deep down, we will always be the same.
James Gandolfini is in the movie too, and unlike the female lead role, he's awesome and I have a great respect for the man. His portrayal of a broken, lost and hopeless man is fantastic. You can actually feel his dismay... His overwhelming phlegmatic state. Melissa Leo gives out a great performance as well.
To conclude, this is a drama with a lot of side-elements added, thus giving it a different feel. I'd have to give it a really strong and solid 7 out of 10, because it doesn't provide some extra deeper meaning that an impact drama should have.
