More realistic than most of us care to admit

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2005)

Although this movie was not quite what I expected, I found it to be a very realistic view of what relationships can be. I think that most of us can relate to at least one of the characters, whether it is a real life scenario or just a thought we might have. I think that Natalie Portman's character was the most interesting. She always seems to bring the perfect attitude to a film no matter what the genre. This movie is not for the faint of heart, especially if you are offended by VERY strong language. It is not a love story with a fairy tale ending, but then again, neither are most of the real life relationships!!! I think that this movie hits a nerve and makes us all realize that we are human and subject to "falling from grace". It is how we pick ourselves up that makes our character.
