I've just finished watching this, and have yet to decide whether I like it or not.
It was written elegantly, which is probably the only reason I can justify giving it seven. The ending, well, it just crushed me.
If you are looking to watch a movie that evokes feelings of sympathy for a well-to-do, nice-guy protagonist that cannot seem to escape the overwhelming, clichéd manipulations of his family and friends-- A dysfunction that he perpetuates with his niceness and accommodating disposition-- only to find that he gives up on the one thing it seems he has found that might give him a true measure of himself, then the next hour and twenty minutes of your life will be a real treat!
In all seriousness, It was so real it could only have been found in fiction. Who knows, maybe the story just felt all too familiar to me.
