Calificaciones y opiniones

Unlikeable characters fight over a broken house. Stupid circumstances bring them together. World becomes a better place without any of the characters.

This movie will rip your heart out. It is terribly depressing, but ultimately a wonderful examination of what happens when you put things before human life. Tragedy occurs. Amazing performances and well written. Does the book justice. Recommended to anyone who enjoys depressing dramas.

Good movie, tragic plot but well told!
