This movie will make you want to slit your wrists, so don't watch it if you're in a bad mood. Based on a true story about a depressed woman tracks down a guy on the internet to help kill her. She finds one. Through a series of flash backs and forwards you learn why she wants to kill herself. This film is a harrowing character study of a seriously abused woman. The acting by Maria Bello is incredible (completely deserving of her Indie Spirit nomination-let's cross our fingers for a win) as is Jason Patric as the mysterious internet man. They both manage to bring some humanity and sympathy for these unlikeable characters. Still, it was so hard to watch that I never will again. Creepy.
** for the acting
