Oldie but goodie
Brilliant film! Good story, makes the veiwer question the main woman's sanity.

Gripping thriller about a mother who's struggling to move on from her son passing away in a plane crash, but did he ever exist?? She's seeing phycological therapists, her husband is trying to help her, all she talks about is her little boy Sam, but no one else knows what she's talking about with there being no pictures, he's room is empty and the video tapes blank, she feels like she is going mad and everyone is erasing Sam from there life's but it's not all that simple she isn't mad her bond as a mother is so strong she can't help but remember her little boy. The truth might not be for everyone but I think it's a good film definitely worth the watch!

I read the book so this story of loss and longing cut down inside of me. On the way to a meeting with the principal at his upper crust private school, Theo and his mother visit the Met. Unfortunately, a bomb inside the museum turns Theo's life upside down as his mother is killed and he steals a beautiful painting. This rash decision will affect the rest of his life.

The movie has a lot of pretension trying to maintain the loyalty to the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. It also moves glacierly and is hard to sit through if you can't follow everything. The frame of the film is full of artistic art direction and spectular cinematography. A lot of care went into the production, but very little thought was given to "juice" the story into something that nonreaders could enjoy.
