Henry D @Henry_Domke Jul 27, 2026 A slow-paced but rich and complex family drama about a woman coping with the murder of her husband and a heroin addict struggling to rebuild his life. Both are trying to live with deep pain while still finding ways to care for themselves and the people around them. See more

TI H @MeInCharacter Aug 6, 2025 The crux of the film: a loyal husband and friend dies while visiting his drug-addicted friend on the addict's birthday. The wife hates the drug addict, but he is a connection to her husband, for the two men have been friends since childhood. Can she give the addict a normal life in her home, and why has she invited him there, to berate him constantly? To replace her husband? Honestly, I don't think I know. I don't think she knows. She is distraught and confused and doing the best she can. I wish there were more movies like this. I was also a fan of House of Sand & Fog, which I place in the same category. See more

annette Z @RT27888167 May 5, 2025 I think this movie helps to prevent drug addiction. The acting was very good for me it would be difficult for someone to accomplish media task of acting in it , I hope it may help other people to see and understand what addiction is for some people. I watched people get addicted to drugs when I grew up this movie may have given them an insight to inspire no drug use without at least without pain and suffering and poverty - pain and suffering is the way of addiction for most people and it keeps people impoverished. also do not forget for carry fisher who died from what. thanks.

Ted B @Movieaddicted Oct 2, 2023 3.0 stars; The story of two addicts. One addicted to drugs and one addicted to grief. The road to recovery is filled with heartbreak and disappointment for both. The plot was a little too cliche and day-to-day, which tended to make boring. However, the exceptional acting of Halle Berry and Benecio Del Toro raised it to a level of audience participation in the life of the characters. This was a Love story, just not a romantic kind. Things lost in a fire can be replaced, but people can't be .... what an interesting way to demonstrate this. See more
