This is a powerful movie about a young woman's struggles to overcome alcohol dependency. The movie is presented in a non-linear style, so it takes a while at first for the viewer to sort out which events are current and which are flashbacks, but after one adapts to that, the performance of Saoirse Ronan is really quite remarkable. She was the second-youngest person to accrue four Academy Award nominations [after Jennifer Lawrence], and she has accrued six BAFTA nominations as well. This was not an easy movie to watch (I gave up once but returned another night) because her character becomes so unpleasant during the periods of relapse, but the message is strong and the performance is impeccable.
