I saw the premiere of this film at the London Film Festival in 2007. I went with my university's film society, of which I was the then president, and I was possibly the only person that liked it. It's very sugary and skirts over a lot of wider issues, but as a linear, sparse film about a father deciding how and when to tell his children that their mother has been killed in combat, I found it very affecting.

Cusack's a great actor.
