This list could go on and on, but that's enough. Although it is supposed to be bitterly cold, there is not so much as a crust of ice on the pond/lake.
SHUT IN RATING FREE
Despite the supposedly raging winter storm, the dock is free of snow and ice. Yet a little while later, when she runs outside, her driveway appears freshly plowed and there is a well beaten path to a dock on a little lake or pond. An unexpected visitor tells the mother that the huge storm raging outside has already deposited so much snow that the end of her driveway was blocked when the road was plowed.
SHUT IN RATING MOVIE
In my experience, the care the makers' of a movie take with the minor details shows how much they care about the production as a whole. ***** SPOILERS ***** The person who wrote this drivel apparently expected everyone to believe a number of complete implausibilities: that a catatonic boy who requires extreme care would be released to a home that lacks any accommodation for his condition other than an adjustable bed that someone could convincingly fake being catatonic for six months that despite his need to never be seen moving about, he also managed to slip his mother frequent doses of a tranquilizer that had been prescribed to him (we aren't shown how he managed this) that somehow the missing pills were never noticed during the six month period that a raccoon rummaging in the garbage outside would wake her from her drug- induced sleep feeling compelled to investigate, but her supposedly catatonic son running around the house at night didn't disturb her a bit and that the little boy trapped in the house only managed to make it to Naomi during the night when she was in drugged slumber and the fake catatonic was free to run around, not during the day when the fake catatonic had to sit passively in his chair or reveal his farce. The performances were phoned in, the plot was weak, and the premise was ridiculous. This movie can be summed up in a single word: awful. Overall, a movie with really good acting but just never really settled into something I could get involved in. That is not a good thing to happen in a movie. I do like movies you have to think about, but this one just didn't make sense and you are left thinking about what is happening, then something else strange happens and you are trying to figure out how it fits and then something else happens and you just give up. The movie starts off OK, but by the end it was hard to tell what was actually happening and what was real and what wasn't.
She does everything she can to hold this movie together but it still just doesn't work. This is a movie that is worth watching because of Naomi Watts. She becomes concerned with one child in particular and now she has to decide to do what is best for the child. She does her best to counsel other children while her life is crumbling down. "I just want to help you." Mary Portman (Watts) is a child psychologist that has lost her husband and is taking care of her invalid son.
