not what I would call a very entertaining movie, however, Lewis's performance is remarkable and there is no denying Breslin's charm........

This could only grow with repeated watches. I just don't know if I could summon the will for another go at this wretchedly depressing experience.

Intense drama, centred on a masterful, brave performance by Lewis. Initially (deliberately) off-putting, the character deepens and becomes more endearing through his relationship with the mother-daughter team of Ryan and Breslin. Manages to create much suspense from the somewhat reckless behaviour of both adults, coupled with Breslin's knowing, mature performance as the trusting daughter. Somewhat hurt by an abrupt ending, but certainly gives the viewer much to ponder.

i get chills just thinking about this. first (and last) time i've ever *had* to have a beer after watching a movie.

Recommended, especially for the riveting performance by Damian Lewis playing a schizophrenic man looking for his lost daughter. And Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine fame is perfect in a small but important role. The less you know about the movie before watching it the better, but there was one flaw in the plot which I couldn't overlook.

very hard to get through but kept me thinking about it afterward
