Good movie. I enjoyed the story and felt it flowed very well. However, I have a few questions. What is with the mothers? First we see the main character's sister drop off her son at his house indefinitely because she needs a "break". Later the main character's wife says she doesn't want custody of their son? What kind of mother would just leave their kid because they're tired of parenting, and what kind of mother doesn't want custody of her son?

I had some issues with a few of the framing choices throughout the movie. During the therapy session scenes, the shots are not centered on the characters. At first I thought they were trying to show something else in the background, but as I watched, there was nothing of value being shown in the background. Please just center the shots. It takes the attention off the plot and just leaves viewers wondering why the characters are not centered in the shot.

Other than that, the movie was good (not great). It's a solid watch if you're running out of other movie ideas.
