And writing that “the larger point this film was making… was (that), even if we are terrorizingly alone, we should be alone next to the ones we love, and care for. We shouldn’t take for granted the people we have been given. We should cherish them above all else…especially above career and other prideful pursuits. And that, in my opinion, is a worthwhile point.”

I left the theater amazed by the movie, and when I got to the line to pay the parking ticket a group of people were discussing and saying they didn’t understand anything.
They turned and asked me:”What was that movie about?”
My response:” It was about the unconditional love of a mother to her daughter.”
I believe they thought I was crazy (or that i had seen another movie).
