I loved this. The little girl really made it - her sitting alone at the bar was so hauntingly sad. And she was so happy playing house with Skaarsgard and the blond Scottish girl out East.

I never saw Julianne Moore so villainy but she was a shit mom and she knew it. Dad not a whit better.

Mom seemed to at least care for her daughter, she just had higher priorities.

Dad seemed like he couldn't care less about his child.
