Touching, and sad, but there is a lot of hope. This was a very well written, acted, and directed movie, that is scored masterfully. Mister Gerry is still quite a mystery to me at the end of this very sad, and personal journey. I felt that we were being shown a very good man who was now at his life's very crossroads, and this is where he gets to decide which way to go next, but who is as torn as anyone would be. Some parts of this movie were so hard to read. There is a point where Gerry is literally tripping balls, and it is difficult to tell as the viewer which of these things are really happening. Very artistic direction lets you feel as though you can just slip away from the characters in the story at anytime. In the end I did quite Enjoy this movie, and would recommend it to people who like it when movies make them have to think. This is certainly not for everyone, it is a good meaningful drama, riddled with sentiment, and strange misdirections. However if you know loss, then there is a lot to relate to in this movie, and it just might be for you.
