I hear ya! My wife felt the same. I am somehow able to cope with the horror and pain of it because I know it is fiction. Tracy Letts the writer of the play which won a Pulitzer calls it a dark comedy. I agree.

I could laugh at parts of the film when I saw it. I was always in awe of the writing and most of the acting. I was deeply moved by the scene where the sheriff shows up to tell Violet about her husband. Wow.

The dinner scene is priceless as is the one I mentioned above and the third amazing scene was Julia Roberts at her moms doctor.

Life can be shitty so when I see things like this I am grateful I didn't have to go through them. Mine was tough with an alcoholic father but nowhere near this bad..............it is more sad to me to see my sister who used to be one of the sweetest loving and caring people on the planet. She turned into a monster saying things to her kids that our alcoholic father never came close to. Real life is sad sometimes, movies are movies.
