The setting of this movie is a post airplane crash where the lead character Clair played by Ann Hathaway is counseling the survivors with a combination of one on one and group therapy. A key to this movie is to not read a review that gives too much and acts as a spoiler to the major twists. In fact it is best viewed without reading a review to be on the safe side. There are shadowy figures lurking from the airline and they might be trying to squash information that contradicts the story of what happened in causing the crash which was explained as pilot error rather than a more dangerous to the corporations reputation of engine failure. But the truth of what happened might be revealed in the counseling sessions. As the movie continues, one of the 5 surviving passengers, Eric played by Patrick Wilson begins to approach Clair ever so subtly but with what might be true romantic tones, but you aren’t quite sure if he is sincere or has something up his sleeve. The situation shows that Claire has maybe bottled up her own emotions and chances, and just hasn’t stepped into taking chances that would bring her to a place of personal fulfillment outside of her measured career. It is starting to become apparent that her ability to apply psychology to others did not exempt her from needing to step out on her own and do take risks for herself that might not be assured in terms of outcomes. Yet even from her inner sanctity there were things that could and should have been captivating to her both from within and without. There are unexpected twists and turns to this movie that are experienced as a complete turnaround and surprise. Although this wasn’t a dynamic role for Hathaway, it was a beautifully done piece in capturing how the nice and wonderful person might not find the surety to advance into their best personal causes and how what does happen isn’t always fair and how all to soon and suddenly, it can be too late.
