    Love it!!

    by juli_fan

    Edgy and raw, this is definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. Billy Crudup is superb, as usual. Mandy Moore is better than I'm used to seeing her. A tad predictable, but edgy enough that doesn't matter. Go see it!!!

    Great script, editing, acting and directing. One of the best of the films of the year.

    Dedication of a Cast

    This is an amazing cast telling an interesting story, powerfully led by Billy Crudup! Even without the script it is well worth seeing Crudup, Moore, Wilkinson. and Weist play their A game. I would have preferred a stronger ending, but am satisfied with what I got. I will see it again.
