This film is not, nor was it intended to be, Taxi Driver Part II. The watchwords here are depth, subtlety and maturity. Scorsese's and Schraeder's chops are intact. Perhaps it helps to have experienced burn-out or a family death personally, but you should - if you open yourself to the film, leave your preconceptions at the door, and let the film just take you - be able to participate in a remarkable film experience. I especially appreciated the quiet ending.
