Ripley's movie review
Great movie. The acting is superb and the story is simple but, most importantly, real. The characters are flawed and, in non-Hollywood fashion, the ending doesn't wrap everything up nicely for us. Problems aren't solved and everybody doesn't live happily ever after. They just go on with their slightly screwed up lives... like the rest of us do.
I recommend it.
