I really enjoyed this movie. Watched it at 2:00 am when I was writing the final revision of my latest book. I actually stopped working to watch it in entirety when I usually just listen to movies with one ear while working on my writings. Several other commentators did not like this movie. I don't know what they were expecting, I wasn't expecting anything. Netflix just 'recommended' it to me, and I said 'okay whatever'. It wasn't 'deep', it didn't make me waste time thinking about it, it was just an enjoyable semi-suspenseful movie. There was some good emotional moments and the main character, a female doctor grieving for her husband who had died the winter before, was well acted by the beautiful, middle-aged actress whose name I just forgot. (I would have said 'the fall before' but it was Canada so October is really 'winter'.) Along comes a youngish guy who is injured. He's cute, but BFD most actors in Canadian/American films tend to be good looking, which is a shame since most PEOPLE are just average looking. That's why I generally prefer BBC productions or, these days, NOLLYwood movies (Nigeria) because the people look like your neighbors. Anyway I recommend it for a rainy afternoon with a box of homemade popcorn and a sweetie. Likely he'll be reading a book or watching ESPN on his hand-held, but hey, that's fine. After the movie is over, you can go to bed and bother dissecting this movie (or whatever was playing on ESPN).
