"Rewatching this 13 years later, I'm struck by how quietly devastating it is. James Gandolfini's portrayal of Doug Riley, a man drowning in grief after his daughter's passing, is heart-wrenching. His slow-burning desperation and disconnection from the world around him felt eerily familiar after losing my own dad. The way Allison, played by Kristen Stewart, crashes into his life like a whirlwind, forcing him to confront his pain, is both jarring and cathartic. The film's understated approach to exploring themes of loss, loneliness, and human connection makes it a powerful, lingering experience. 3.5⭐️"

"I liked this movie! I thought it was touching, and interesting since it portrays a life very different from mine (but just as real)"
