jahan_tanu I didn't expect anything from this movie when i started watching. but it surprised me..it was hell of a movie...you really didn't get the chance to watch this kinda movie every now & then..the emotion in this movie was so in a perfect amount...first i thought it would be quite slow & boring but i wanted to watch it because of Nicole Kidman but after that i was really amazed by the plot & the genuineness of acting & find it quite interesting to watch. its a hopeful, honest and unexpectedly tricky portrait of a married couple getting along after the untimely death of their 4 year old son. i never preferred Aaron Eckhart that much but he was shockingly good in this movie and Nicole is definitely the balance point of this story because she was fighting her inner sentiment every moment...this is a very simple story represented extraordinarily...

jacksparrow_1700 Honestly I wish I could give this movie a 0 because that's what I truly think about it. Also sorry in advance if my review seems kind of disjointed. This is basically a rant.My dad made me watch this movie a few years ago and he really liked it but I absolutely hated it. I really didn't like the message of the movie. Basically the only reason the couple stay together is to put on a show. Pretend everything is alright even though they are on the brink of divorce. I know people grieve in different ways but I didn't like how the characters acted after their son died. The woman was very mean and angry (she even slaps a mother in a grocery store across the face because she wouldn't buy her son fruit snacks...). The man skipped out on support group meetings with a woman he became friends with and they decided to smoke weed in her car instead. And the couple together just weren't very nice people. They were very high strung and annoyed every time someone tried to comfort them. Sure, not everyone is good at comforting people but you could at least appreciate the effort. Also, I'm not sure 100% but the score sounded completely recycled from other films.

wesawyournoobs This movie definitely hits you right in the feels, man.But even after a bit to reflect, I can't for the life of me decide if I liked it or not.I'm not a big Aaron Eckhart fan. He was decent in this movie, though his character wasn't very engaging to me (again, biased!). Nicole Kidman is simply wonderful, and really breathes life into her character.That story is, of course, very very sad and moving. It is really powerfully written and directed in that it - mostly - gets you to feel what they intended you to feel.But after watching, I feel a bit apathetic about the movie. It was really well done, I can understand others really loving it, but I would never watch it again.

flflores55 It really broke my heart when Nicole's character showed so much anger at Jehovah God. but she was right to say ? "Why not make another angel ,hes God after all . I mean Poof" So many Religions teach that the soul is immortal, but that is not the truth. God does not take people to heaven to be Angels.(Ecclesiastes 9 5, 10) tells the condition of the dead. 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. ...10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going. (Ecclesiastes 9 5, 10) My Mother is asleep in death, but I will be there when she wakes up in the resurrection on earth. Just as Jesus performed the resurrection of his friend Lazarus( John 11) and the 12 year old girl at( Mark 5:41) And, taking the hand of the young child, he said to her: "Tal′i·tha cu′mi," which, translated, means: "Maiden, I say to you, Get up!" 42 And immediately the maiden rose and began walking, for she was twelve years old. And at once they were beside themselves with great ecstasy.Since angels were serving God in heaven before the founding of the earth, the first man and woman were evidently not created to populate the heavens. ... "As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men." ♥ I want to be a Gardner and grow beautiful , tasty foods.
