This movie is incredible. If you don't mind not being cheered up by your movies, definitely check this movie out. Amazing performances by all involved and another amazingly intricate Paul Haggis screenplay make this movie a must watch. Here's a fun game: See if its harder to find a legitimately good movie in Charlize Theron's resume (I settled for one where she had an incredibly minor role) or trying to pick just one awful one. And she is widely considered one of the best actress's around. Fuck you Hollywood.
