Great acting, but the drama is heavy. If that's how you like it, Connelly is great and Kingsley is very serious. So serious.
Where the movie lacks in pacing, it makes up for with compelling performances and an arresting story
Jennifer Connelly gives the performance of her lifetime in this enthralling drama.
A tragic conflict between a patriarchal man and a mentally unstable but relatable young woman. Left a lasting impression on me.
A original story that I didn't expect to be this good but it was good and interesting.
One of the most underrated dramas ever. Too bad nobody saw it — it’s just an amazingly written and acted story about humans. Unforgettable
The house isn’t even very good which only makes this whole struggle all the more sad
A moving, intense tragedy about the fragility of the American Dream, humanity, connection and loss. One of Ben Kingsley’s best performances.
Provocative drama about aspirations, loss and pain. A magnificent performance from Kingsley. Slow, off-putting pacing.
Captures the tension and anxiety of the 2008 housing crash.
