[About family... it's a very strange and complicated group]
Waechter (Willem Dafoe) is a standard loser, but the father
Lisa (Julia Roberts) who wants to gain control at home is between the son and the husband. In the middle, the mother who
wants to maintain the warmth of the family may be Waechter is the deep responsibility of
love, or Lisa is really
swallowing for the integrity of the family, but for the young Michael (Cayden Boyd)
whether it is relentless scolding or copying house rules or discipline
to find his mother continued inclusion father
hard not to hate his father and mother
hates the father of morbid
hate cowardly mother

thought that it would change the father Waechter is not changed
Michael (Ryan Reynolds ornaments) thought the adult I hate my father for a lifetime
because my mother Lisa died in a car accident.
I gradually see my father’s weakness and
mother’s secret

forgiveness
seems to be so natural
and simple...
No need to publish "Fireflies in the Garden" to express it

[ Regarding the movie...]
The editing of the past and the present can be
seen to be relevant
but a bit weak
. From the editing of Michael in the past to the nephew Christopher (played by Chase Ellison), it
may be special
but suddenly a bit stunned to rush out of the field.

In addition to Lisa’s secrets,
young Jane and Michael seem to have a past.
Jane and Jimmy’s marriage seems to have problems.
Kelly and Michael’s marriage problem seems to be solved because of pregnancy?
Too many and complicated clues
may arouse the audience’s interest,
but in the end it is straightforward. Happy Ending for the next period paintings doubt
there is always loose, sloppy feel

, but
for which the two acts have been very touching
father Waechter ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, secretly crying
Michael smoking, deadpan nostalgia mother
often more powerful or surface Optimistic people
will hide themselves and heal themselves

Rating: 5.6/10
