- Despite possessing a sense of objectivity, the first half hour is particularly powerful, albeit quite uncomfortable.
- Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson are both excellent, and Harrelson firmly deserved that Oscar nomination.
- Surprisingly, the highlight of the film is the segment involving Steve Buscemi as an angry, grieving father.
- Unfortunately, with a story built initially on episodes, Oren Moverman's script meanders a bit in the latter portions when it starts to deviate from the formula, and at about the 1 hr 20 min mark, it starts to drag.
Grade: B
