This film is very well-directed, well-acted, and well-written. It just has one major flaw, and please don't read this if you don't want a spoiler: it portrays a stalker -- a sad-sack stalker we pity, but a stalker nonetheless -- as someone who will go away if his demands are met. This is not true in the real world, and didn't ring true on-screen. I cringe to say this, but it's a bad message to send.
