Oy. This one is a heavy one…(no pun intended) but oh so beautifully real. Brendan Fraser is an absolute marvel and should get an Oscar nomination if not the prize. His courage to “go there” with this role is inspiring, a standing ovation is in order. It’s a hard movie to watch but it’s absolutely worth watching. The look into such a raw, painful story is unique: a man desperately trying to repair his relationship with his daughter. I believe movies like this create an empathy in us that’s invaluable. No watch checks, I think Ryan would stay awake for this (it’s hard to look away), it’s not necessary to see it on the big screen, you can rent it.
