Great film about life happenings
A should-be classic film that is difficult to recommend to anyone you know as it is not a happy film and can also reveal too much about how you personally feel about the core social infrastructural essentials albeit regardless of your geographical location, wealth or political persuasion. Your take-away from watching it will probably be that whilst you leave uncomfortable (and in tears) you appreciate that hopefully we'll all pull together for a better ... (yawn) ... spoiler (etc etc etc) ... Seriously the film is challenging which is why it is SO good. The topics are today's issues without being overly confrontational. The acting is excellent as it unobtrusively allows the story line and resolution of each issue to be both thought provoking and up for discussion (yep the latter may not be acceptable as it is going against some viewer's acceptance of the plot's ideology). Whilst this film will undoubtedly appeal to many viewer levels starting from one who just sits with a box of tissues and can cry/enjoy their way through the film without any "film noir" distractions to the extreme of getting heavy depressed by over-thinking each presented sub-plot. Overall it should be recognized as a very good film because the of actors skillfully involvement of the viewer in presenting challenges leaving them seemingly to solve them.
