Ví el film y quise conocer el origen del guión. Leí la novela de Andrés Dubus III. Necesitaba saber todo lo referente a esta tragedia. El dilema de la ambigüedad moral, cuando dos personas tienen razón y no se puede optar por ninguna. El gran ausente responsable es una administración del Estado. Crea el problema y no lo resuelve. Siempre estamos a merced del engranaje social. Lo deja en manos de dos seres que se convierten en un obstáculo uno para otro, con la carga de la familia a la que hay que cuidar, con el lugar que se quiere ocupar en la sociedad, etc. Muchos temas se debaten aquí que nos comprometen emocionalmente. Quedé exhausta con esa imagen del matrimonio muerto en la cama y Katy extendida al pie. Tan separados antes, tan cerca ahora. La suma del dolor. Creo que ahí está el final. La novela escribe otro final. Me quedo con el del film. La arena con su inconsistencia, la niebla con su indefinición materializan el escenario del drama. - @Friday, December 28, 2018 7:15 PM

This trailer would be fine if it was for an average film but this film is far from average and deserves a better trailer - @Thursday, September 13, 2018 9:36 PM

This film was so cleverly made- the characters and their impact on you was so deep. Honestly a must watch for sure, be warned though you will cry so bad at the end - @Tuesday, November 7, 2017 2:21 PM

Nominated for 3 Oscars: Including Best Actor (Ben Kingsley) and Best Supporting Actress (Shohreh Aghdashloo), this movie is a hands down the most depressing movie of all time for me and it even beats Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark...the movie's tagline really strikes the heart: SOME DREAMS CANT BE SHARED... - @Thursday, October 12, 2017 4:12 AM

Imagine how the film could have played out if none of them had ever met that arsehole deputy... It's sad how it could have so easily turned out differently & how both opposing sides minus him were actually very fair in their approach [for the most part]. - @Wednesday, July 5, 2017 7:59 PM
