Honestly, most people are completely mistaken.
This is not only a movie - it's a piece of art. It's the kind of movie that you watch and it will haunt ... read more

Honestly, this movie is far from being flawless. There are too many characters and many of them are not developped enough (for example, Lena Olin is barely seen in the movie and barely utters a word) and also, some parts of the story just don't work. In spite of these issues, I still enjoyed it. I like the directing, the cast is very interesting (Don Cheadle, Ryan Gosling, Jena Malone, Lena Olin, ... read more

"Movie: 8/10 Character: Albert T. Fitzgerald Performance's Rating: 9/10 "I recall when our lives were unusual and electric. When we burned with something close to fire. But now we sway to a different rhythm. Lives lived without meaning or even directed hope. The passage of time measured only by loss. Loss of a job, loss of a minivan... a son.""

"TV Reporter: Why did you do it, Leland? Leland: Because of the sadness. TV Reporter: What sadness? Whose sadness? Leland: Your sadness. Leland: You want a why. Well, maybe there isn't one. Maybe... Maybe this is just something that happened. Leland: This one is something a friend of mine said to me. "You have to believe that life is more than the sum of its parts, kiddo." I remember it right now to the "kiddo" part. But when I think about what she said, the same thing always comes into my he"
