I totally get why this film has so many award nominations. The film deals with a difficult, very real, subject - how the loss of a child affects the relationships of those around him/her. But honestly, outside of a tremendous performance by Vanessa Kirby, this film is just average or worse. The subject was so much more finely dealt with in the brilliant Ordinary People.
