Bleak is how I'd describe this. It's about (small spoiler alert as this happens in the first 5 minutes) a husband who loses his wife and then deals with his grief in bizarre way.s
There is some good acting: Jake Gyllanhaal (October Sky) shows a different side, playing a not-very-wistful leading character; Chris Cooper (The Company Men) is his usual crusty, effective self; Naomi Watts (whom I've only seen in Angels & Demons) shows a wide range of skills; and, introduces Judah Lewis who is very effective with a promising future.
The movie and story flow are definitely thought-provoking. But they're not thoughts I'd like to dwell on and I doubt I'd see it again.
