This film takes you to the depths of despair and degradation and keeps you there. The suffering so many endure is made palpable. The alcoholic's unheard cries. The fear and self-loathing of the destitute. The hopelessness of someone who knows they have blown too many second chances and must finally face solitude in the darkness. Andrea Riseborough delivers a career performance as Lee. Actors in support are heartfelt and intense. The story is strong. Watch this film. You'll be glad you're alive, and you won't take friends and family for granted. Redemption can seem like a million miles away, but, sometimes, it's right in front of us.
