This movie was slow, actually almost painful, at the beginning. I very nearly gave up on it about half an hour into it. Still, I persevered, and am glad I did.
It shows the dark side of abuse and what a woman will do to 'save' her child.
The plot twists and turns, and is a little difficult to follow at the beginning, but all comes together nicely toward the end, when the insurance agent finds his heart and does the completely unexpected thing.
Overall worth watching, the bleakness of the setting becomes a character in itself, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, it's stark and almost frightening at times. It really makes the movie.
