First of all, kudos to David Schwimmer (yes, oh yes, that is "Ross" of "Friends" fame...) for creating a film that made me wildly uncomfortable, grateful for healing, and glad that I hung in there for the end.
This movie stars Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, and delightful newcomer Liana Liberato. The subject matter is the chronic abuse of the Internet by unscrupulous people, and how very unaware even the most aware parents can be to the dangers facing our children. The writing and acting both showed respect for said subject matter, and while the "breakthrough with the therapist" scene had more than a whisper of Timothy Hutton in "Ordinary People", at least Schwimmer had the class to steal from an Oscar-winning scene.
So, watch this with a box of kleenex and a good friend. You are going to need both. But...watch it!!!
