I'd been putting off viewing this film because I knew it would be hard for me to watch. And I was right, it was incredibly difficult. Stories about overwhelming grief are painful, especially so when the people failing to cope don't know how to communicate. Lee, played amazingly well by Casey Affleck, reminded me of so many young men I once knew. Struggles like his character's are very real in this world of ours. Even though I rated the film lower on the personal scale, I do still recommend it. It's important that we make movies about grief.
