I wasn't expecting anything that would happen in this movie. I can see how it won so many awards. 

Who else watched and was amazed?!

Thought this was overrated.

Liked Running Scared better.

No offense but the only people I knew who liked this movie were people who lacked perspective and empathy for other people in general. 

People live EVERY DAY like this so this wasn't that big of a surprise to me.

I thought it was horribly overrated ESPECIALLY when it even got nominated.

didn't they make a tv show with the same name?

Was it the same theme?

Great movie. ^ nothing was supposed to be a "surprise". It was just a great, emotional story.

And it was essentially Canadian made.

I'm sorry that you surround yourself with people like that. Son is the biggest cynic on this board. Do you ever have anything positive to say?

The film was cool for what it was but I said it was overrated.
You're mad at that? I'm supposed to fall head over heels about an average story about minorities hurting more than the average privileged person realizes or that "we all hurt" gets told in a remarkably predictable and formulaic way? If you like it, more power to you. Just keep it pushing either way. 

Don't pay attention to what I say then. I mean damn. Like what can I say for you dude? 

Then I get called out for being difficult or the problem child.
