Less depressing Solondz but more sadness.Mich like every movie of this caliber, it's riding a very thin fucking line of asshole characters, and I believe Solondz made one of his most memorable characters in a mvoie that wouldn't have been as good as it is if it didn't inlcude that aspect. It's presented very realistically, particularly since I know people like Abe who don't do shit in their lives. The way Solondz uses fantasy elements in interesting but could be presented clearer, Selma Blair is great, and the film doesn't go on as long as it could have. Very much enjoyed.
