I'm generally quite stingy with ratings, but I give this an unqualified 5 full star rating. The acting as well as the plot (timeline is a bit squishy, but never more than a minor distraction). I've never seen Annette Benning so intensely fierce and distraught or Naomi Watts so directed and mercenary. But what I love the most about this film is the transformation the characters achieve and the growth that results. I ended up reflecting on this film for days afterward, the true test of an exceptional film.
