Very powerful story it seems everyone giving it bad reviews didn't understand it, you probably didn't like pulp fiction or other movies that shows you the end first then moves to the beginning. The title specifically outlines what this movie is about, the life before her eyes I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it but keep the title in your thoughts when you watch it as it all makes sense when it comes to the end. This movie uses a lot of symbolism that give you an idea how its going to go, I thought they were a bit heavy on it but it still was put together well.

I know when a movie is good when it causes me to ruminate over it for hours or days. It had me doing mental gymnastics at the end. I felt the tragedy. The acting is great. The shocker at the beginning has brilliant exectution. The characters are normal kinds of people who you know well.

It took me awhile to figure out what I had just watched. In fact, it took until the next morning to feel that I had interpreted the ending. That is, if I am correct. The movie is a little slow, I think more drama would have made it more interesting.
