I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Very disappointing. Only ever saw one worse movie: Called "Baby the Rain Must Fall". Should have checked IMDb before investing my time. Could have saved some cred. if they'd found husband's remains off the cliff. Had hope when she found rock pile and after police chief shared security video with her. Those were just teases.

I've just watched this for the second time, not remembering if I had seen it before. It's not the kind of movie that hits you over the head or leaves you gasping. But I believe it's a lot better than many of the reviews here say. First off, I believe Betsy Brandt did a fine acting job. She seemed perfect for the part: controlled and contained while giving small signs that she's full of emotion underneath her calm exterior.One of the reviews here questioned how she leaves her son alone... in my opinion she played a mother who was trusting and almost all the time her son listened to what she told him or asked of him. She is also a math professor so that tells you something. Math/Art - Opposites? I admit there were a couple of times in the film when I thought, if it were me I'd be shouting and carrying on, but that's not her personality. Ultimately that's what she winds up questioning because her husband accuses her, before he's disappeared, of not really looking at him. I think this is the essence of the film: a woman is forced by people and events to confront herself and who she is. I have to agree that the ending was a surprise. I also agree I would have preferred a more specific ending, but this one was part of the writer's and director's vision. Maybe they'll do something similar in which the ending is more satisfying.

This is a very thoughtful story that some people may have difficulty coping with, as it has no special effects, no major reveal or build to a climax that answers all questions. No, this is not like that. It is a study of human experience, a section of the lives of a wife and son left behind by the disappearance of the husband/father. As she encounters strangers who knew her missing husband, she comes to realise how much she did not know about the one man whom she was supposedly closest to. People have their secrets, sometimes purposefully hidden, sometimes open to those who can see them but unknown to those who have lost their focus. On the whole the characters were believable, although a couple were clearly under- developed devices to help the story along. The photography was well executed, despite the frequent lens flare, and the use of lighting and variable exposure levels were a subtle enhancement of the woman waking slowly to the harsh reality of abandonment. Yes, the execution is flawed in places, but the movie flowed along well enough. There are a few levels that can be unpacked in the story and how the characters interact, but if you prefer facile, strictly linear formulaic movies with action, body counts, CGI etc, then this is not for you. If you appreciate a "slice of life" approach with sensitivity to shifting emotions and neglected relationships, then this is worth a watch.

ignore the good reviews there obviously by the producer or someone involved in the film. An what a bunch of pretentious bull they are.the story line sounds good but is not executed at all. its like a child's story where they have an idea but no clue how to action it especially the ending were a child would end it with it was all a dream! honestly ignore that voice in your head saying it sounds good an worth a try and save yourself.the endApparently I have too have ten lines of text to submit a review? why? am not re writing the script just giving a quick review!honestly first the film annoys me and now you I m d b. well now I review you.the rule of ten lines minimum means most wont bother giving a review as they don't have that much to say about it. if that's the reason you do it then what's the point of the site? 7/10 for you, you was 9.
