Depressing but emotional and engrossing film

This one sort of reminded me of the movie "Rabbit Hole" but I liked this one better. It gives more of a engrossing image that actually has believable emotional moments in it. If you lost a loved one recently it can really leave an impact. In fact one of the person I spoke with that recently saw this movie had a wife who passed away from cancer. I thought it was messed up. So to some it maybe better to stay away from this flick for a while. Matthew Goode is just excellent in this role as a father who is dealing with grief and going into a downward spiral. Who is angry, bitter and goes around sleeping with any women. His character starts out dis-likable but I started to feel somewhat sympathetic towards the character near the end. Overall this is a emotional movie that gets more engrossing as it progresses, it's one of those depressing of engaging movies. Oh and one of the female actress in this slightly reminded me of Rachel McAdams.

8.3/10

Grief

The film starts off with Tom (Matthew Goode) masturbating while looking at a naked girl (Rachel Griffiths) dressed as a nurse. We then see him bleeding out from an auto accident and the 90 minutes later we are back to where we started with a seriously disjointed film with flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks. Not too terribly hard to keep up, it just didn't add anything to the film. We find out Tom is a successful chef whose wife Sarah (Bojana Novakovic) has died from cancer, but is alive for half the picture. They have a son Oscar (Jack Heanly) and Aunt Karen (Essie Davis),who wants to help out while Tom grieves and has sex with his therapist and then later we see him meet her for the first time.

The film is about Tom dealing with grief in his own disjointed way.

Guide: F-word, sex, nudity.

Tedious and annoying.

Other reviewers have said it....tedious and annoying. Trying to be too clever by half, this movie jumps through the time zones almost frame by frame. The unifying factor being that the main character is a caricature of a male chef, you know the Gordon Ramsey type who are arrogant and think that the world worships them because they can cook seafood. With complete disregard, the main character has total disrespect for everyone in the story including himself. Wow, if this is what someone thinks grief is like then it's pretty extreme. The rest of us mix in being normal human beings with grief and continue our lives learning that life is for living. This being the gift that those who pass away leave us. I thought that it was portraying an ice addict such was the extreme behavior shown. Sorry guys trying a bit too hard...where is the subtle portrayal that Australian movies do best
