All Is Bright (2013)
7/10
All is Bright-Dull Until the End ***
29 May 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Rather depressing film with Paul Giamatti coming out of prison to find that his wife has told his daughter that he is dead. In order to earn money, he agrees to sell holiday trees with a friend. Of course, he finds out that the friend is going to divorce his wife to marry Giamatti's.

The two argue in front of customers but eventually the business takes off. They make quite a bit of money only to fall victim to a robbery.

The picture becomes somewhat more dramatic and poignant as the two steal a piano to give to Giamatti's daughter. The ending reminded me of Barbara Stanwyck in "Stella Dallas."
