One minute, it was a very sad drama, the next it was a bit of a comedy and back and forth it went. What I found infuriating was that the film seemed so uneven and didn't seem to stay within a genre.

Reviewed by MartinHafer 5 / 10 One minute I loved the film, the next I hated it-and this happened repeatedly. Over the next few miles, Donnelly learns that all four of them have lost someone that night, and the young man gives Donnelly a gift that might ease his pain. He sits across from a talkative young man who seems to have a screw loose, making coarse observations and starting an argument with a couple in the next seats who are clearly tense with each other. In the early-morning light, he catches a train back home to Dublin. He visits her body, placing a photograph of their pet rabbit in her hands. At the hospital, a doctor gives Donnelly the bad news: his wife of many years has died.
