This is a very thought provoking film. The performances by Michael Sheen and Maria Bello are moving. The chemistry between the two actors is very believable. The grieving process was honestly portrayed. The emotional journey makes you want to see some healing occur for this couple. I loved that the violence was not the focus of this film. This is a story about two people who lose their only son who clearly love him. In the end, whether the son committed a terrible act of violence or not, it's about picking up the pieces and trying to heal. It was wonderfully revealed how ugly and destructive hate is without being preachy. Tissues are needed to watch this one.
