Peel back the gruesome subject matter and you get a quirky little movie with a lot of heart. The material is brought to life by a fine ensemble cast led by the fantastic Amy Adams (who should earn another Oscar nomination for this role) and the always dependable Alan Arkin. And special recognition goes to Emily Blunt for pulling off the "troubled sister" role without making it the typical stereotype. Definitely a nice little diamond in the rough. |
