Watched it on Netflix and i was after a few beers the first time i saw it. Didnt like it first time round as it probably hit a nerve or 2
Watched it again this summer glad i took the ferry for my holiday but there are lots of familiar behaviours. A great movie and i think i had a better understanding than the few people I watched it with.

I watched it several years ago. It was difficult to watch, and I did cry at several points. I thought it was a pretty accurate portrayal of what people call a "functional" alcoholic. I have issues with that term, but that's for a different thread. I need to watch it again, if only because I may have a different perspective now than I did when I was about a year sober. And because it's a good movie. I identified with quite a bit of it.
