A very depressing, extremely cold film.

The calm and slow plot from beginning to end, even if the truth is revealed at the end, will not make people's hearts roll, but only feel sad.

The role of Jimmy is very full. He has a sense of family responsibility and treats his friends well. He has three daughters. He loves them very much. But someone else is there, is he wrong for his daughter? Of course, even Jimmy himself felt a lot of guilt, and even wanted to apologise to death, but his wife was very powerful. With a few simple words, he not only eliminated all self-blame, but also became a little bit more natural, and finally provoked the police. It can be seen that the wisdom of the person next to the pillow is not only related to the next generation, but also saves your life if necessary.

Cowardly but kind Dave, irritable and gentle Jimmy, capable and affectionate Sean, three childhood playmates, and finally turned into a murderer, a murdered, a policeman, the cause of all this is childhood. That encounter? No, this is just a seed, buried in Dave's heart, making his life dark and sad, reflected in the eyes of the people around him, making them discriminate against people with shadows without hesitation, and even more engraved in his wife's brain so that she never believed that Dave would be kind. So, stereotypes can sometimes kill people.
