IMDB

The college-aged son of a New England couple dates an older woman (Marisa Tomei).  Her ex-husband kills him in altercation, leading his parents to deal with his death and the sentencing of his murderer.
A gripping and emotional drama.  I had seen this about 8 years ago, but I was getting it mixed up with “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead” and forgot that the son dies.  I was caught off guard by it.  This is a great movie.  The acting is superb and Todd Field does a great job directing.


9/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
