Baby, why are you wet? Which way the coin lands on this one is tough to say, and thats no easy feat to pull off. Even knowing the story, one finds it lacking in clarity. But clarity is not this films goal, and we shouldn't seek it as an audience. This film is as much about the questions it raises as the mood it puts one in, a kind of melancholy is what I'm sitting with now. I'm devastated for Teddy, while being equally sick for his children. Its a confluence of emotions that builds over the course of the story and culminates in one absolutely perfect final line. "Would you rather live as a monster or die as a good man?" I don't know if that is the question the movie is asking, but it certainly is the perfect one to live with. This story is a masterful one. Might have to check out the novel it was adapted from now.
