Halle Berry, Benicio del Toro d/ Susanne Bier
Excellent, intelligent weeper about a woman with two children whose husband is murdered in a samaritan act gone wrong. She turns to a drugged-out childhood friend of her late husband for solace and help getting through the hard time.
Directed with exquisite care and sensitivity by this outstanding Danish director. BDT gives one of his best performances as the confused, well-meaning but deeply conflicted junkie trying to help while clinging to his own sanity. Ms Berry also shines. All supporting characters come across as realistic and believable.
Good stuff...for those prepared for the emotional wrenching.
