Hi, I think this article is very well done, gives a good sense of the film, and seems adequately referenced. I have only a few comments.

 * "John's simple act of defending Linda during her childhood proved to be such a profound moment in her life" - It is mentioned in the plot section that the film ends with this flashback, but it doesn't clarify by this "proved to be such a profound moment in her life". I took it to be a film maker's device to end with that.
 * I tried to modify the plot summary to be more clear. Let me know if it works. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Listening to what I took to be the music for the film in one of your references, it sounded like a mellow jazz, definitely with some brass, so saying it is a "gentle piano" doesn't seem right. (I did not come across a description, however.)
 * I'm basing this on the Variety review blurb: "Tech credits, including Russell Holsapple's gentle piano score and David Doyle's vivid work with the Red camera, are righteous despite a modest offering plate." But if you think I should cut it, let me know. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * One of the reviewers called it a "noirish" drama and it does seem that way from looking at the stills (and listening to the music). Do you think this fits? Also, it does seem very Seattle in atmosphere, which I take to mean very Milwaukee, as they are probably similar - so very influenced by place. (Do the characters speak with a Minnesota accent?)
 * Sorry, but I'm not entirely sure what you're seeking with this suggestion? —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you did a good job of showing the complex influence of the Catholic Church. Some of the stills from the film that show this are very moving.
 * Thanks! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The review selections you chose convey the film well.
 * Thanks! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't like the second review quote, but that is personal opinion.
 * Which one, exactly? (By second, do you mean Coyle's second quote fragment "strikes a near perfect-balance"? Or Covert's thing about "one of the few American films..."? If you have a suggestion with which to replace it, I'm certainly open to it.
 * Perhaps a night scene from downtown Milwaukee, or even a Milwaukee church or bridge or something, would be more representative than the photo you have in the article.
 * I'm guessing you mean Minneapolis? I've tried a night photo... —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I made a few copy edits to satisfy my nitpicks but you are free to revert them.
 * Look good! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the substituted image much better, even though you didn't take my bait about "noirish"! I didn't like the last pullquote about known and unknow actors, but I have grown used to it. I think the article is fine as it is. Xtzou ( Talk ) 17:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
