Margaret (an excellent portrayal by Marisa Tomei) has a hard time holding it together and slips into an alcoholic despair after the sudden unexpected death of her husband Steven (well played by Timothy Olyphant). It's up to her estranged teenage son Marcus (a fine performance by Charlie Plummer) to help them both get over this tragedy.

Director/co-writer Joshua Leonard presents a poignant and thoughtful examination on loss, grief, and recovery that astutely captures a strong sense of pain and anguish. Tomei and Plummer both do sterling work in their demanding roles; they receive sturdy support from Mirielle Enos as fellow struggling alcoholic Nancy, Emily Robinson as sweet girlfriend Tracy, and Nik Dodani as concerned friend Seamus. A nice little film.

I watched this as a fan of Timothy Olyphant. After 10 minutes I thought bugger, but he came back lol.

The movie has some really good moments and is a creative exploration of life and how it can transpire.

On the other hand I found myself losing interest about half way in, only to gain it back, lose it and gain it back again.

Some will hate it, others will enjoy it more than I did. The acting is very good.

A rather basic and run of the mill premise that's elevated by stellar performances across the board. Marisa Tomei is fantastic, and Charlie Plummer continues to shine in another terrific role that shows maturity and sensitivity that we seldom see in young male actors. I really liked that it was short, it didn't have any unnecessary filler. An all round good drama, well made by the great Joshua Leonard.
