In a suburban landscape, the lives of several families interlace with loss, despair and personal crisis. Esther Gold has lost focus on all but caring for her comatose son, Paul, and neglects her daughter and husband. Lawyer Jim Train is devoted to his career, not his family. Helen Christianson wants to find a new spark in life, while Annette Jennings tries to rebuild hers.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Troche ... seems to be tuned into Homes' writing, but without really knowing how to translate it to a cinematic narrative.

rotten:
In boldly departing from the safety of a strong, unifying plot, Troche makes virtual objects of her characters by showing us plenty that intrigues and not enough that enlightens.

rotten:
The sheer number and variety of miseries on view suggest a kind of wallowing.

rotten:
It's a movie located in an interesting place, but without quite enough self-confidence really to inhabit it.

fresh:
A richly compelling movie that is as hard to forget as it is difficult to warm up to.
– Peter Howell,
