A slow, depressing movie about the dark realities.

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2019)

I suspect the people scoring this movie highly have, like me, been through an ugly, expensive divorce - quite probably one that started off with both parties agreeing to make it quick, simple and fair process. Then one or both see a lawyer and it goes downhill fast from there. In my case, The result was that I was told "I just want what I deserve", which proved to be a very subjective judgment on her part.
So with general heaviness of the heart, the stress of the opposing lawyer and the financials and the anguish of uncertain future access to the children, you try to push ahead.
This movie picks all this sort of heartache up extremely well - only the initiated would foolishly be hoping for a happy ending
