Wow, this was a great film. Absolutely engaging and better even than I was expecting it would be (and I had pretty high expectations based on its 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes).

"How do we process unimaginable betrayal? How do we overcome the kind of events that forever alter the trajectory of a life we so desperately want back?" Two great questions from the RogerEbert.com review, and resounding themes for me.

Followed by a drink and a snack at NWBB, and a laugh with the Polish Mob about joining me at a movie with subtitles. I didn't realize it would be subtitled, but PM knew and joined me anyway. I didn't give him enough credit.
