ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** (Actually 3.5) The movie is great from the start. Annette Benning is wonderful as always. Thihs is one of those movie that doesn't always makes sense to you, but grabs you and hold on to you until it's over. It did king of lose me a bit towards the end, but was still very good.
