This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Random (very spoilery) notes:
-The title/place name is oddly specific for such a nondescript town/place. Why the title? Is the town name important? Is it a small town? Large town? Small enough for one character to know about another character’s illness, but too big for hospital staff to know they shouldn’t put the perpetrator of violence in the same room with the victim of his violence? (But also, the hospital is so small-town they don’t have a separate burn unit?)…

Trying to articulate what bothered me about this film:
I think my discomfort with it (viz. why it didn't charm me) has something to do with the way the story centers around the men, around the men controlling events and other people because they have this extra information and can therefore manipulate events/people - most notably, manipulate the women characters, viz. Rachel McAdams's character, Mary, and the sister character. And yes, I get that part of the film's neat "lesson"…
