    Disappointing! Sam Elliot has made better and greater movies than this one. This movie was boring, too unusual flashbacks, and the ending didn't make sense Something was missing that could have brought this movie together that didn't leave people feeling...."WHAT??" I thought Sam Elliot lowered his standards to appear in a movie that didn't do him justice. The best part of the movie was looking at Sam Elliot....even at his age, he's still a turn on :)

    Good story line. Foul language terrible and strong sexual content. Not Oscar material.

    amazing story, sam elliot is Oscar worthy, deep performance, believable in context of washed up actors, hilarious at times and gut wrenching sad at others, a sleeper of the year

    very slow moving movie! struggling to pay attention to a simple sentence being completed. Flashback were inaffective and a distraction. This movie could have been a whole lot better. DISAPPOINTING! One of the worst movies I have ever had to sit thru. Wondered why there were only five others in the theatre.

    Where in the synopsis, or trailer does it tell us that this movie promotes drug use?! Sam was great as always, but, I think they could have told this story without drugs, it would have been better. Too many camera shots of the BACK of his head for me also.

    This was the worst movie ever! It was all about Sam Elliot's mustache and voice. His relationship with Charlotte was not believable and was totally below the belt. As usual with a man of his age and background his communication skills with his illness were abysmal and not poignant as they should have been.
