This film is equally depressing and refreshing - however, it should not be missed. Depressing in that there are tragic events occurring throughout the film, refreshing because no matter how tragic - the characters manage to survive and move forward. Colin Farrell does a good job as Bobby but Robin Wright Penn clearly steals the show. Sissy Spacek, as always, gives a fantastic performance. At first I viewed the relationship between the three main characters as chaotic and dysfunctional, however, by the end of the movie they had all managed to convince me that what they were doing was both loving and normal. The movie ends on a sad note but clearly brings everything into perspective as you walk out of the theater.
