very good

an absorbing, well-acted drama. I was afraid it would be complete "downer", but was pleased to find that by the end I felt uplifted and encouraged.

After watching this film I realized it was about how very differently people cope with death; not just the couple, but all those around. Saying 'I understand' or 'I share your grief' gives some comfort in the moment, but the pain of loss is lifelong ("like a brick in your pocket"). Not everyone understands each other. I got impatient or uncomfortable with the story and characters much the same as they did. It was good to see a movie where people drifted apart, even clashed, but could then come to understand where the other was coming from.

Great acting ...story line is a bit of a bummer...

A sad but somewhat realistic film concerning the death of a child and how a couple reacts to the death.

horrible boring movie nicole kidman once again proves she is a poor actress the storyline was good , and this movie could have been so much better had they chosen a better actress to play the heroine

I really liked this movie. It was well acted, well written and very engaging. The story is complex and seems written by someone who has gone through the experience themselves. Nicole Kidman can rub some the wrong way, but it works really well in this movie. Aaron Eckhart does a good job distracting me with his uber Hollywood chin, but does equally well in the role. This is a really good film.

Such a heartbreaking movie about a couple who has lost their son and is now learning to live life without him. I think anyone who has lost someone close to them will relate to this story.

A very sad story featuring a couple struggling to deal with the sudden loss of their child. What's more intriguing is opposite the couple's view were on how to deal with the issue. Becca (Nicole Kidman) tries very hard to erase her late son's memory by removing paintings and deleting pictures on her husband's iPhone. Meanwhile, Howie (Aaron Eckhart) wanted to keep those memories alive. In numerous bed-time scenes you'll notice how focused Howie was on the late child, as he viewed the joyous memories the couple had captured on home video. Furthermore, Both Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart's moving performance was quite superior!!

A tough sunject,(death of a child) and how to live AFTER that! Well acted, well done. A "must see" performance!
