The first half is an arresting drama about a moral/legal conundrum; but then it doesn’t seem to really know what it wants to do next, kinda turning into some weird stalker almost-thriller, which goes increasingly awry until a convenient ending. Shame. 3 years 10 months ago -

Could have been so many things but instead of exploring any of the interesting and complex issues or dynamics, the plot takes the easy tear-jerker road so common to Oscar bait movies typical to the end of the year.
Thompson gives a layered performance which is wasted on this simplistic, and awkwardly manipulative, movie. 5 years 7 months ago
