It's available on iTunes Rentals for $2.99 btw (opposed to the usual 3.99), so I checked it out. It's a wonderfully acted and written film that remains constantly open. I liked it a lot....it's funny and moving. Laura Linney is fantastic as usual, and Mark Ruffalo gives by far his best performance ever. Also, there's a cameo by Amy Ryan which is cool to see.
BTW, it received Oscar nominations for Best Actress and Original Screenplay, WON the WGA for Original Screenplay (quite a feat for a film of its type), and was produced by Scorsese.
