Insanely stacked cast ! Decent movie. Definitely a slow paced movie but the emotional relationships highlighted are powerful

i wanted to like this a whole lot more but unfortunately it just didn’t really connect with me on any level. as an aussie this has toni colette and rose byrne but in my opinion miss uses them and honestly has them feeling so out of place in the film. the first 20 minutes really threw me off it like it felt like i wasn’t even watching the same movie from the rest of it and all of characters were just bizarre.

they tried to go for a magnolia sort of interconnected story vibe but then didn’t really connect up the stories at all. they include a couple which have very little relevance to the murder itself and just bloat the story out. it’s very slow which i generally enjoy but it just feels awfully paced and then bang all of a sudden everything happens towards the end of each character arc.

that being said the final part with the dead girl herself really saved this one for me. she brings a lot of other stories together and makes you understand how they all relate. brittany murphy and josh brolin are the perfect dysfunctional couple but you still see her as a caring mother who wants to get the perfect birthday for her kid. a bit all of the place and honestly missing some key aspects of a murder plot.

Oh wow, what a cast! Such a sad story indeed. Storytelling was interesting but it seemed like it should be a bit longer to finish it in the way it would felt completed.

So much of love and compassion afforded to each of our characters.

It's always so heartbreakingly refreshing to engage with a director who not just cares about but loves women, and it is clear that Karen Moncrieff truly cares about and loves women – and the stories of women.

Absolutely devastating final scene.

Adding to my on: radical feminism list.
