Tilda Swinton at her best gives an outstanding performance in a dark, adventure, which requires an effort to watch, but worth it. Even she remarked during a Q&A that it was difficult for her to watch. The film has been pared down from 4 hours, but still has many twists and turns that compel you to stay with the story.
She plays an alcoholic who is able to stay one step from destruction with clever deception, and a different story for each situation. The young boy who was 9 at the time is very credible, and gives a wonderful performance.
An interesting investigation of an alcoholic woman seldom seen on screen as the protagonist.
