When Alba was in class and put a child in a corner by the door she wrote two large numbers on the black board and wanted the children to tell her what sign (greater or less than) to put between them. When the child made a sound to get her attention you could see the less than sign already written on the board, but it was missing after the child from the corner gave the correct answer and the teacher wrote it on the board.

I suffer from OCD and often find myself counting telephone poles as I drive, cracks in the walk way, tiles on the floor. This film portrays the inner workings of such a mind that literally had me with my mouth open at times because of how much I could identify. The story is powerful, with layers of themes, and the child actors are excellent, not to mention a hefty substantive performance from Jessica Alba. If you are a cinephile that is jaded with Hollywood's current offerings, this is definitely a thought provoking film that will leave you with a smile and some bewildered expressions on your face, unless of course, you are like me.
