So the movie itself is a bit of a slow burner, a really slow burner but if you stick with it the storyline does finally suck you in. I personally had a tough time connecting with the protagonist's character, okay, i actually didn't like her. Had a tough time believing her. Anyway. Great theme arc as it focused on how we as humans tend to use our vices to cover up the real underlying issues in our lives, and in this film, the marriage relationships. The protagonist realizes this about herself and decides to do something about it. supporting cast livened it up a bit. Other scenes looked too rehearsed taking away the rawness of the scene. Such as the liquor store scene and the arguing scenes between the protagonist and her husband. Although the very last scene for me was the winner, dialogue was powerful and really resonated, Aaron's performance there told so much about the story and her reaction to it was worth the 90 minutes.
