(Yawn) This Canadian effort did nothing for me. Directed by Carl Bessai, it takes a sort-of Babel approach giving us three grouped stories that eventually reveal a traffic accident as their connection. Carrie-Anne Moss stars as Catherine, the mother trying desperately to deal with the death of her son in the traffic accident, while her youngest son and husband roam about. Kevin Zeggers stars as Jordie, the paroled lad who had a hand in the accident and Callum Keith Rennie as Walt Braugher, a college teacher with an autistic brother and a love for co-eds, and some connection to the accident. These folks are all trying to be normal, or find normality post-crash. Shot in too many tight frames and with no real connection to any of the characters, the film flounders in its bleak, depressing, and woeful self-indulgence.
It’s abnormal and earns my rating of 2 out of 10.
