I don't get it? I just saw this movie at a screening yesterday and subtle isn't the word. It's nothing. It felt like I was watching a bad 480 (USC Speak(senior film project)) that was stretched to 90 minutes. A drama that's 90 minutes. That speaks volumes. Bad comedies and children's films are 90 minutes. If you can't flesh out a drama to last 2 hours, you are missing something, like a story line. In this case I was grateful that we could leave. There were times in the film where I thought something was going to happen and we'd have the main conflict and a reason for the story. Nope, it just continues to the next scene. There WAS one fight, but I totally missed why one of the sons beat up a total stranger to us? If he was established earlier in the movie, I missed him. Picture "In The Bedroom" without the murder. BTW, I hated that one too, but it at least had a reason! I chatted with some people as we exited the theater and it seemed as confusing to them too. I was glad not to be alone on this one. This movie defines the way to stop a movie when your writer dies mid script. Cut to black, roll credits.
