Brilliant, Suspenseful, and Unforgettable!

First, I saw this film in Venice, Italy last August but I didn't see all of it. We went sightseeing. Finally last night, it emerged on late night television and I made a point to watch it. The two actresses who play Beth and Diana are brilliant in their performances. Their characters are far more alike than different. Beth is a struggling single mother of a wheelchair bound son, Benji, who she loves more than anything. She is having a rough day would be an understatement. Nothing appears to go right. Benji's father bought a house an hour away and wants to file for custody of him with his wife. Beth loses her job as a result of incompetence or lack of compassion. She doesn't have enough money in her bank account to buy her son a telescope so she pawns her necklace. She gets into a road rage incident which is equally her fault but then nobody appears to stop her. Diana is a married mother of two children with another on the way. She is equally having a bad day. Her husband is unemployed and they are on the verge of losing their home. Her son was caught bringing a gun to an expensive prep school and was expelled. Her daughter's needs are never quite answered. She needs a promotion to save her family and she needs to reassure her status in the business world. I didn't like the ending. The plot was suspenseful and kept moving along but I won't spoil it for others. You have to see it to believe it.
