This film by Writer Guillermo Arriaga is what we have come to expect from his stories - honest, painful yet hopeful. Basinger is brilliant and Theron and Lawrence both give strong and convincing performances. A few poor choices in scenes and support casting reveal it’s Arriaga’s directional debut, however, most of it is driven home thoughtfully and powerfully.

I saw it first in the cinema. What a cast with, across the board, great acting… And the plot twists - OMG
