"I went to see this at Film Forum (thankfully not defunct) with my husband, Ira, and my mother several years ago. Before she died, the three of us used to go to the movies together, which was in and of itself a white-knuckle experience. My mom was a vocal spectator at the movies. Sighing, gasping, moaning, even uttering words of advice or disdain to the screen were not beyond her. It was often embarrassing. Even the most vapid milquetoast piece of crap could get a rise out of her. (She had discerning taste—after all, she loved Buñuel—but movies just made her emotional.) This film is not vapid, milquetoast, or remotely crappy—far from it. Between her and the movie, I was a wreck."

"This is the first film I purchased on DVD, and it’s the film I recommend most often. Though I consider Todd Haynes a feminist filmmaker, he has a tendency to leave his female protagonists much worse off than they were before as the end credits roll. His character arcs are vicious downward spirals, and they’re utterly compelling. When I teach this film in my class at the University of Illinois, I pair it with “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman that is also about a wife and mother slowly unraveling under the pressure of her own femininity. At the end of a hard day, I often find comfort knowing that at least I am not Carol White."

Laney bird is a retired undercover cop who is bumbling along through life with her troubled son Alfie. Dealing with her daily struggles as a single mum then one day Alfie doesn't return home

The book is captivating from the start. You get the back story of why alfie goes missing and all of the feelings and instincts of not just a mother but a retired cop, and just what she will do to have her son back.
I love the intensity of the book and intensity of all of everybodys feelings that are involved.

A deffinate must read it was capturing, intense and thrilling, deffinatly makes you want to turn the page to find out what happens next.
