1549 - Then She Found Me

I remember reading about this when it was first playing at TIFF, and being curious about Helen Hunt as a director.  It's a film that's about a woman whose adopted mother dies and is contacted by her birth mother - all the while starting the process of a divorce while at the same time starting a relationship with a somewhat unstable single-father.
It's a film filled with a lot of interesting things, but I'm not sure that they all come together in a way that's intended.  From watching the 'making of' it's clear that Hunt it attempting to tell a story about betrayal - but I can't say that I ever got that from the actual film.  It's a really fantastic cast that she's assembled and they alone make the film interesting and worth watching, even if it's parts are better than the whole.
