Davis sikeres befektetési bankár, szép feleséggel, házzal, autóval. Egy nap azonban autóbalesetben elveszíti nejét. Sajátos módon dolgozza fel a veszteséget: ahelyett, hogy összetörne, tovább éli az életét. Az érzéseit egy büféautomata üzemeltetőjének írott panaszleveleiben kezdi kibeszélni, míg a frusztrációját rossz háztartási gépek szétszedésében éli ki. Davis levelei felkeltik az ügyfélszolgálaton dolgozó Karen érdeklődését, és a két idegen között valószerűtlen kapcsolat kezd kibontakozni. (Cinemax)

Jake Gyllenhaal once again portrayed one of the strange characters that abound in weird American dramas. I guess he is best at that. It almost makes me feel that he might be pretty weird in real life as well since he’s so incredibly adept at portraying these withdrawn people with whom you have no idea what’s going on in their heads. As far as the filmmaking craft goes, it’s a classic Jean-Marc Vallé movie. He really enjoys these non-typical yet typical dramas and he always tries to be very precise with the rawness. On top of that, he explains nothing to the viewer and he lets them think hard about the character of Jack. I kept thinking and thinking. I didn’t come up with much, but his weirdness still made me watch the movie to the end.

Original. A strange drama about relationships lacking just the straightforwardness to achieve perfection. Some of the family scenes (with the gay kid) are absolutely unnecessary. The whole idea with the demolition of one’s own and deconstruction of one’s character drags on like nothing like it. Gyllenhaal is classic, precise acting. First-class direction. Entertaining soundtrack.

A bit of an emotional hipster thing. Quirky, but funny and cheerful at times, touching here and there, and quite apt and realistic. Gyllenhaal in a role only he can do best, in an unconventional romance with Naomi Watts. It has more than enough ideas and situations to relate to.

Excellent example of how one needs to screw up their life, to shut their mouth and finally realize what it's actually about and what they should focus on in their own life. Jake once again excels and delivers a great performance, where you almost don't care who else is playing there, even if it's Naomi Watts and Chris Cooper, because he simply carries it.
