We Don't Live Here Anymore

We Don't Live Here Anymore is a small, character driven movie, when nothing big never happens and you end up like, yeah, it was very good but meh...

There are big and strong performances with Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) being the one with less to do. Naomi Watts also had little to do though she was supposed to be the co-starring with Ruffalo. Her not being all the time on screen felt weird.
Mark Ruffalo had a very strong performance, he's on a roll this year acting a lot and every time better and better.
The surprise performance was without a doubt Laura Dern. When the movie started I thought: what's she doing here?. But then, she did everything, and perfect. She was happy, drunk, mad, she cried dn she laughed and she danced and she had sex. Really well acted and I wasn't expecting it at all from her.

All the movie fell kind of empty, though I really liked Ruffalo's decision at the end.

[SPOILER]

There were two scenes almost at the end of the movie, with Ruffalo and his kids and they are standing in a cliff throwing rocks at the river, I swear to god I though he was going to kill them.
You'd have to see it to feel it, but with that music that was really creepy and we him grabbing her daughter from the neck and then screen fades to black... and then we see Laura Dern asking him "Did you do it?" oh man, that scene fucking scared me.
The second one was also at the end with Naomi Watts driving her daughter to her mother's house, the scene again goes black and we hear a train passing (the train had been showed a few times already in the movie), another scare.

I don't know what Director John Curran tried to do with these two scenes but they felt out of place cause nothing happened, luckily, in neither of them.
