Ean C. gave it a 10:
One of those movies that makes you wonder what the Oscars are awarded for when this does not collect a thing. Both Sigourney Weaver and Julianne Moore are in parts that one would almost expect to be reversed. The jerkiness plays into the entire evaluation of Weavers mental state.
Greg G. gave it a 0:
A collage of devastating, life altering events, but lacks the unity to pull the film together. Sigourney Weaver's character is so extreme as to be unbelievable. A very unpleasant experience. Not recommended. Don't trust the critics!
