This family drama by Peter Jackson famous for his RING trilogy did not, unfortunately, do that well at the box office. The film's subject matter has obviously much to do with that predicament. The film is a startling, graphic tale of a horrid incident that befalls a young girl and how it tears the family apart. Saoirise Ronan is absolute perfection as the girl with an unbelievable supporting cast from Mark Whalberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci and Michael Imperioli (from the sopranos) To my mind, the film was so great even with all the grimness and sadness. It's a perfect work of art. I recommend that you give this a try. It's a film that will test your mettle, but it's very worth while!
