A very tragic, real film I had unfortunately not seen until today. I was not caught off guard by the ending, which I believe is unfortunate, but which also speaks to the exemplary character study undertaken by this film.

Both of my grandfathers had very similiar transactions with their wives, and it was powerful to watch.

When everything comes crashing down, and you're in real danger, are you going to be a hero? or a coward? The film says it itself; there are not many real heroes when it comes down to it. And one character says in a conversation that she does not…
