Feedback: A highly decent drama Lonergan film. Not the best one and didn't grow up with it, but it kinda works in the real world that people stuggle with drama.

The acting is good, screenplay is not bad and characters are well developed.

The downside is that these misunderstandings and arguments are getting on my nerves and very fustrating to process. I'm expecting a little more scenes to look between sammy and brian and terry of how they are trying to communicate through life.

At least there isn't much violence, except from the scene where Terry meets up with Sammy's ex-husband that doens't know her child and they get into a big brawl, that's kinda intense.
