: The Upside of Anger

This was a surprisingly good film. It’s a little heavy-handed. It’s about an older woman whose long-time husband suddenly leaves her and she becomes angry and drinks a lot. Because it’s about anger all the songs are about anger and the characters sometimes talk about anger; that’s too obvious. But the characters are interesting (the woman has four very different daughters she clashes with) and there is a bit of a story. The ending has a little twist that’s interesting and brings things to a new light. It’s not a great-great film, but it’s good, a little unusual, and I liked it.
