This movie was fantastic. It was a perfect mix of nail biting action and complicated relationships. The director and actors nailed the nuances that occur with an abusive, alcoholic parent.
I'm not sure why the critics had such a problem with this movie. It was entertaining and interesting from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend it to to anyone old enough to see it. There was an abundance of nudity and sex, so not for the young ones.
The movie was somewhat predictable, but the acting was great. It was much better than other current horror/thriller movies I have seen, and definitely better than any of the current vampire movies!
This movie is emotionally complex and very sad, but worth the emotional toll!! I would highly recommend it. Bring tissues - there was not a dry eye in the theatre.
