Stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, made in 2002. I had seen parts on IFC so I rented it recently. Really a good movie, especially if you like Hoffman. I knew nobody who would sit through it with me so I watched alone, which was an advantage for someone who doesn't like to cry at movies in front of anyone.
Basic story is: This man's wife committed suicide and we watch how he deals with it, from sleeping on the floor in front of the bedroom to carrying a letter he's afraid to open. Kathy Bates is his mother-in-law and a main character.
I watched the commentary a couple hours later, which I don't do for all movies. There are parts where even the writer, director and H. don't speak. It's a very quiet movie sometimes, getting its point across visually quite strongly.
