The ultimate modern Trolley Problem on film. Do what's legally and morally (to the character) correct, or divert the trolley so a bunch of people are happy?
Absolutely fucking love this movie. As usual there are only two lines that kick me right in the heart at the end:
Patrick: Is that Mirabelle?
Amanda: Annabelle.
Everyone in Amanda's life got the doll's name wrong enough for the media to repeat that Amanda was carrying a doll named Mirabelle. Then, as Patrick is trying to ask Amanda about her doll, she corrects him and says the doll's name is Annabelle. Cue Alexi Murdoch's haunting song "Through the Dark" as Patrick begins to realize that Doyle might've had a point.
Also, how fucking amazing was Amy Ryan as Helene? I love the fact that Patrick was the only character to see her actually grief-stricken, when everyone else had written her off as an uncaring mom; likely contributing to his decision.
