The scene where Alice slaps her daughter (as a result of her alcoholism) can be intense.
The scenes near the finale with the man saying goodbye to the two girls separately at school and then the scene where husband and wife separate is very emotional.
The movie revolves around a woman's drinking problem, and it might be dramatic to those who experienced the same issue or know someone who did.
A drunk woman falls through the glass door of a shower and is hospitalized. It is especially upsetting when the daughter finds her and believes that she is dead.
