Sad, but true
PostedJanuary 11, 2009

from Overland Park, KS
I initially thought this would be a smartly made movie about the strange antics of a young woman coming home from rehab for the first time. I was expecting a dark comedy. It turned out to be a snapshot of a family - their interactions, secrets, and inability to speak truths to one another to resolve long-standing wounds. It demonstrated both triumphs and failures within families, that love brings one another together, but does not conquer all issues. The acting was superb; a breakthrough role for Anne Hathaway. She was not the expected quirky girl l, but a character carrying the full baggage of her past, alternately in your face and repentant. However, if you had a normal, communicative family, you won't get this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
