“An intensely beautiful and painfully presented picture of grief. A universal emotion that manifests itself differently for each of us. It brought back memories of all those I have lost. I thought of my dear grandmother who outlived two of her children. Fabulous acting; very realistic depictions of grief.”

“The shot in the car with the 3 of them after the funeral was painful and amazing. I really thought at one point the father and son would die too. Much better than EXPLODING GIRL! What happened to the photo she took in the car?”

“Loved it, and really enjoyed our screenwriter guest. The ambiguities of the story create a tension for eroticism that never lets up, not even in the closing frame. A masterful, enjoyable achievement with wonderful performances throughout.”

“Exciting, but draining. What a performance on the part of Julianne Moore!”

“Loved it. Great bodies!”

“The house reminds me of ICE STORM. The chill was palpable.”

“Didn’t know what to expect, and what a surprise! Motherhood reduced (or magnified) to its most intense emotional challenges. Yet not done with muddled screenwriter psychology but a gripping murder mystery. I’ll bet money Hollywood remakes this in 2 years. Great performances, beautifully shot, ably directed. This young filmmaker is going places.”

“A mother’s love, can anything compete with it? Good scenery and good music. Needs some editing.”

“Where did she get the $? A little too long!”

“Couldn’t the cameraman get any closer, like up the noses?  Shouldn’t it have been called ‘THE DISAPPOINTING CELL PHONE?”

Painfully boring.”
