Is this a student film?

Editing, directing, screen adaptation was just like a student film. Overly dramatic and the language was way too forced.

The plot was great but the execution was terrible. Every few scenes was another saccharine element to portray the story.

"I bought it for a song on the web" - who is writing this?? So many other ridiculous scenes here.

I thought it was brilliant and the editing made me feel like I was inside her head when she was trying to cope and piece together all the events that may or may not have influenced her son.

I agree with you completely.

I felt like the majority of the movie was just a plethora of really annoying noises. Babies crying, little kids repeating the same words, loud noises, and my biggest pet peeve... MOUTH NOISES. Ugh if I saw this in theaters I would have walked out.
