Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaScreenplay written by Gordy Hoffman, Philip Seymour's brother.
- GoofsWhen Wilson goes into the garage, his wife's car is still there. He looks down at the exhaust pipe to see it has been stuffed with rags. This was her apparent method of suicide. However, blocking the tailpipe of a car won't cause a backup of fumes. The engine will not start when the tailpipe is blocked.

Featured review
Greetings again from the darkness. It has been a week since I saw this and I am still not sure what to make of it. Philip Seymour Hoffman comes through beautifully in his first true lead role. He magically captures the private pain and freedom associated with losing a loved one. Hoffman's brother, Gordy, wrote the screenplay and it is brilliant in its ability to make the audience (and sometimes its lead character) smile, even laugh during a most sorrowful time. Kathy Bates delivers a strange, but effective performance as the grieving-wanna be- helpful mother-in-law. Two terrific supporting roles from the great Stephen Tobolowsky and Jack Kehler. Director Todd Louiso (Dick from "High Fidelity") lets us examine our feelings on mourning and how individualistic the process can be. Who knows what is the right way to grieve, or when enough is enough? Trying to find yourself after losing a part of your life is not necessarily a 12 step program, nor should it be. Re-discovering life can be painful and exhilarating and this movie shows both sides pretty well.
