As I watched and listened I felt for characters, I could relate to different parts of the story and most importantly - I laughed and I cried. This movie is about a guy who loses his wife and something clicks, so his way of dealing or understanding different things in his life is quite interesting and unique I would say.
From the beginning I was in and interested in what happens next...And then what happens, and what happens after that scene you know.
I don't really want to say much (but about this one I could) because I don't want to slip and give something away, I think you have to go and see it for yourselves and experience it for yourselves. What I will say is that it was a nice but sad piece throughout but what Bryan Sipe (screenplay) and Jean-Marc Vallée (directing, also known for Dallas Buyers Club, Wild and The Young Victoria, if these ring a bell) did was when it got dark, they brilliantly found a way how to lighten the mood by cleverly sliding in some good punch-lines or just making my number one actor (Jake Gyllenhaal) do something that will make you smile.
And if I mentioned Jake I can continue with glorifying him. Oh, Jake, once again you amazed me and took me in your world and I didn't want to get out of there. And your face is pleasant to look at as well. Thank you for being born and deciding to show yourself publicly.
Okay and I can't finish without giving a shout-out to all the main characters and their execution by Mr. Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper and Judah Lewis who all were excellent at showing these different (some where more or less typical, some were interesting and some - likeably strange) people and their different personalities.
This will be a good movie to see when you want something realistic, something with substance and without sci-fi or thrillery-action. This is a film you go and see. Period. A nice movie with a lot of heart.
Rating: ★★★★½
