Things Lost, Things Gained
11 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I am a huge fan of Benicio Del Toro, this is a movie that shows why he should have more starring roles. His facial expressions are perfect, alternating love, sadness, despair and ultimately, hope.

Halle Berry does an excellent job as a well to do wife who has to cope with sudden loss and raising her kids.

I am not a David Duchovney fan, but will admit he is well cast in this. A great supporting role from Omar Benson Miller as Halle's younger brother.

POSSIBLE SPOILER: A film dealing with death, it is uplifting. A film about escapism through drugs, it is about hope, second chances and coping. A film about pain, it is also about love. Realistic, endearing and enjoyable. I recommend it.
