Black Comedy about woman betraying her future husband. She gets pregnant to make it interesting. He tape everything and is left only with her dress, which almost seems to be enough. Explosive ending, that's a promise. Hai doggie!

Brilliant film. I was disappointed with the character played by William H. Macy, Joy's father, who seemed to serve no purpose other than hating Jack for being a child of rape, and being a pathetic alcoholic. Otherwise there were no missteps or false notes. A must see.

My third time seeing this film and still as powerful as the first if not more so. Definitely made it onto my desert island list because I think I could watch it over and over infinity and not tire of it. Although it is about a rare circumstance, the film functions as a metaphor about all of us, about growing up and leaving the past behind, about being human. Best movie this year by far - not to be missed. Proud to see Canada's name on this film. Brie Larson is sure to win the Oscar, and Jacob Trembley is heartbreakingly good.
