I loved everything about this movie. It's very good to watch alone and don't let anyone tell you it's not worth it or it's terrible... it's fantastic!
Jennifer does her best dramatic work, she should have been nominated for an Oscar. And I am not just saying that... she should have even won, because anyone who says she doesn't deserve it is just thinking of the Jennifer Aniston the media makes her out to be... "a bad actress".

Glad you liked this movie. I found it a waste of my time. Claire was not interesting, even as information about her son was revealed. The story and most of the performances were bland. The only sparks were Nina and occasionally Silvania.

Couldn't agree more!

I cried my eyes out as well. It's a great movie... so well written, top notch performances.

It's one of my favourites.
I love films like this that skip the majority
It's almost like my little secret although i know others have discovered it too.
The performances between sylvana and claire are excellent even cameos from felicity huffman and william h Macy lift it.Sam Worthington brings a sensitive side to his role too.
Anyone who's suffered chronic pain will be able to identify with jennifers' character and performance.
It's a touching story of how people deal with loss and try and cope or not cope.
The incidental music is beautiful by Christophe Beck and adds another dimension to this little gem of a film.

Yup. I have no idea why this film got so many bad reviews. Maybe because it is slow and there is no dramatic love story or CGI. I think you have to have a lot of life experience (I'm in my 50's) to understand what's going on and to appreciate Aniston's subtle but powerful performance. I loved the other characters also particularly Sylvana. Very well done all around.

Jennifer was good, but the movie itself wasn't that great. Very unrealistic, some dodgy homeless girls wants to steal your car and not only you give her a ride but you take her home and then she gets away with your car and your wallet. Yeah right, like that would happen in real life, and more examples. And why would she obsess over a dead woman she never met? to the point of going to bed with her husband, that's so weird.
I'm glad you liked it, I just didn't find it that good.

It's not as bad as everyone here makes it. There are very good scenes. She does a great job.
