Not one to watch if you're depressed.
By Shelbert from Middx , 03 Dec 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
This is a very moving tale of a husband (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), recently widowed, trying to work his way through the grief, anger and desperation that follows. Where other films may rely on tear jerking, overly sentimental flashbacks and deathbed scenes this is not the case here. We witness his spiral downwards via a newly found addiction to sniffing petrol fumes to ease the pain, keeping his mother-in-law (beautifully played by Kathy Bates) at arm's length and the desperate avoidance of reading his wife’s suicide note.
There are ‘funny’ moments, which in their humour leave you feeling like you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Phillip Seymour Hoffman should win an Oscar for this performance.- Was this review helpful to you?

(24)Great Philip Seymour
By Vieigi (16 reviews) , 14 Dec 2012I love Hoffman and he is great as always in this movie. I enjoyed it but it is veeeery depressing and sad. I suggest it mainly as a means of studying Hoffman's acting or if you need to watch something that's pitch black.- Was this review helpful to you?

A HIDDEN GEM
By a customer , 25 Sep 2011now this was a surprise.
I didn't think it was depressing at all, emotional: oooh YES.
Loved the comical touches, unconventional.
Liked the surprises in it.... expecting the 'normal' drama.
Excellent 'acting'.
Watch it!- Was this review helpful to you?

PSH's best film.
By TJleewilliams (2 reviews) , 05 Sep 2011Remarkable, deep, poignant film. To the people here who feel it was pretentious, maybe you ought to go rent Chairman of the board. It has carrot top in it. You'd love it. He's the love interest. He nails the girl from According to Jim at the end. Fun for your whole inbred family!- Was this review helpful to you?

Very Good
By Ell1981 (169 reviews) from London , 28 Jun 2010Excellent film beautifully made holding back on cliches and familiar themes. Hoffman as expected was very very convincing and so believable. It isn't as depressing as it looks.- Was this review helpful to you?
