Sadly unfulfilling movie

What is even more sad is that the writer and director felt this was an acceptable conclusion to the story of two very troubled individuals. So are they now going to become co-dependent, miserable, and then what? They might as have ended it with the inevitable suicides because there will be an eventual explosion and that is where they have gone in the past.
Very good performances by the cast wasted.

It was a very disappointing ending to a very disappointing film. This film is overwritten and overwrought, and though I really wanted to love it, or at least like it, with all the talent involved, I found myself cringing constantly. A little subtlety and honest dialogue would have gone a long way here.Thankfully, Kristen and Bill will rise above this film. In fact, they already have. 5/10 stars from me.
