Don't you hate when people call something dated because the costumes and cars are not what we have today? Shallow thinking.
Today was the first time I got the chance for this movie. It is outstanding. Characters and motivations are well defined (perhaps a bit too unsubtly). Anyone who has had an interaction with an alcoholic or addict has experienced a lot of these hopes and failed promises. There is no letup and the damage it does and resurrected horrors are only too familiar.
This movie has the best kind of ending. Not happy but a bit hopeful. Actors are excellent particularly Francioas whose character lives with so much undeserved guilt.
