    “I half closed my eyes and imagined this was the spot where everything I'd ever lost since my childhood had washed up, and I was now standing here in front of it, and if I waited long enough, a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy, and he'd wave, and maybe even call.”

    Seen this movie twice. I like aspects of it and love depressing films, but I can't help but feel like it could have done more to live up to its potential. I hope they try to do another film adaptation one day.
