Things We Lost in the Fire (2007 Susanne Bier)

Halle Berry has lost husband David Duchovny; has two surviving kids Alexis Llewellyn and Micah Berry (no, no relation). Junkie Benicio del Toro, who was DD's best friend, comes to stay. Results are not predictable - writer is Allan Loeb. John Carroll Lynch is a helpful neighbour, Omar Benson Miller is a helpful brother and Alison Lohman a useful fellow AA attendee.

Frequent close-ups of Berry's eye made me keep thinking of a horse.
