Not consistently great, but the movie’s so full of heart and sustained an emotional arc that ultimately won me over. I cried. Twice.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A simple story told simply. Very human. Very realistic. I loved it.

I spent the first 90% of the movie doing two things: 1) Gasping at Christian Bale's bony form, and 2) wondering why his character Trevor wouldn't just pop a sleeping pill and get some much-needed rest. The pay off, however, at the end of the film was completely satisfying and threw the rest of the movie into a new light. For that, I liked it.
