A little confusion I'd like to clear up
I really enjoyed 'You Kill Me', particularly thanks to Sir Ben Kingsley and Tea Leoni's bitingly witty and touching performances; their chemistry was undeniable for me! I am, however, confused on two points that I was hoping some fellow IMDb posters might help me understand:
1. What was the attraction that brought together Frank and Laurel? At my first viewing of the film, their relationship seemed a bit forced.
2. Why was Frank driven to begin drinking again towards the film's middle? I guessed it was Laurel's decision to not stay the night with him, but that didn't seem like a very severe a blow.
If anyone could offer some insight here I'd be very appreciative. Thanks!
