A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I loved this movie. With a fine hand and an elegant restraint, Mia Goldman's inaugural feature is a beautifully crafted work. With a concise and well articulated story line, Ms. Goldman, who wrote and directed, has made an engaging movie that moved me in many unexpected ways. The story of a young couple, deeply in love, confronting an enormous challenge startled me. Disturbed me. Robin Tunney and Joel Edgerton play the romantic leads with elegance and passion. Their love affair drives the story and they do it well. TElliot Gould and Cybil Shepard, in unusually textured roles, perform beautifully. This smart, sophisticated Indie film is subtly driven. We're sucked into the emotional vortex almost from the beginning. Once there, it's an intense ride. It's not everybody's cup of tea. There are disturbing elements that I will not reveal. But if you hang in you will be deeply and profoundly rewarded. This is one of those sleeper films. A wonderfully rewarding debut.

I enjoyed this movie so much. There were great plot twists, and the way the characters lives were intertwining through out the film was entertaining to say the least. I thought the art direction was beautifully executed. I walked out of the theater a little exhausted....but in a good way...I felt like I had been taken on a short emotional ride. I like a movie that can shake all different emotions out of me, and this movie did include some comic relief. I especially liked the scene with Eliott Gould and Robin Terney at dinner, the lighting was beautiful, and the dialog was great...Thank you for this special treat...

This was an odd movie to find playing on Showtime - seems very at odds with most of their programming and I don't remember a theatrical release. It is a quiet and powerful piece about the effect that a brutal rape has on a young couple and their immediate family.It seemed to be a very realistic portrayal of the aftermath of a rape and the performances by Robin Tunney and Joel Edgerton were exceptional. I read in one of the postings on the IMDb message board that it was based in part on a real experience in the director's life. That doesn't surprise me as this movie really seems to capture an emotional depth and honesty that is very hard to find in most movies nowadays. Very impressive.

Just caught this movie on Showtime. It's a quiet, subtle film about a tough subject - rape - and the filmmakers handle it with grace and dignity. What's great about the movie is that it deals with the trauma from everyone's perspective - the fiancée, the mom, the dad, the friends - not just the primary victim's. Strong performances from Robin Tunney and Joel Edgerton throughout. I think there are a lot of women who would be interested in seeing this movie, but it would also appeal to men who have been in this situation as well, of which there are probably far too many. Highly recommend seeing this - I think it's airing on Showtime for another few weeks.
