Wes Bentley, Winona Ryder, Ray Romano
DIRECTED BY: Geoffrey Haley
A man (Bentley) who makes his living composing other people's suicide notes enters into a romance with the sister (Ryder) of a recent client.
Morbid, odd, funny, and dark. That is the best way I can describe this movie. Not a feel good movie and not
one you will come away feeling like, WOW. But none the less good. The performances were great. Really good to see not only Wes, but also Winona, in a lead. It's been awhile. Bentley's character has the worse but yet some how interesting job. Makes you wonder if one like that exists. Romano lends himself to a great comedic supporting role who brings the laughs but who is also disturbed by his own demons. This movie is a breath of fresh air when it comes to seeing the same stories being made over and over again. Unique, and like none I have seen. The ending was satisfying for me. Wes Bentley is my main reason for seeing it. Loved him in "American Beauty". Loved him in this movie as well. Wish he was given more movies cause I think he's fab. Definitely worth the watch. Hope more people see it.
