很有可能是Susan Sarandon在近几年各种配角演出、陷入“议题战争”之前，最后一部被给予如此多发挥空间的电影。她非常娴熟地演出母亲在等待一个关于儿子的无望结果之下的偶尔希望到彻底幻灭，麻木再到崩溃。这些动人的单人戏之外，将其安排于这样的一个故事，感觉节奏很拖沓；也容易浪费在一些游离在主线剧情之外的篇幅。她真的太好了，但还能不能有什么机会可以再次被看到这种好。

世界上有那么多人深处战火与危难之中，你愿意为他们做些什么？

点进来才发现是一个女导演拍的，难怪手法和感情表达有种细腻深沉的味道。最后的镜头个人很喜欢。3.5。

「They talk nice. But they don't do anything unless they're absolutelt forced.」「There's no way you can understand what I'm going through. → Well, how can I understand it when you don't talk to me and you keep it all locked inside you?」「I'm no one. I'm an old lady. I'm a mother, just like your mothers. I'm going to give you every penny that I can get my hands on. I'm not even asking you to release him. Just... don't hurt him. Please. Don't hurt my boy.」
