I was hoping for some kind of wisdom here. Unfortunately, it is a story of a wacko woman who's conversion to wisdom and maturity in the last five minutes of the film is unbelievable. Natalie Portman is very very good. I wonder why Susan Sarandon would want her role so badly. The idea that her character really, deep down, is doing it all for her baby is fine in theory, but the script just doesn't make that at all believable. The fairy tale ending is just that - make believe.
