A teenagers dies in a car accident and his family is left helplessly. From that perspective, it's evident the pain that parents and relatives go through, so that's what "The Greateast" focuses in. The actors involved in this project are professional, with highlights to Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan, who play the desperate parents that suffer, each one, in its own way. The mother is the one who cries, gets grumpy and tries to relieve her pain by insulting others; the dad, on the other hand, prefers quieting down and trying to fill his mind with other stuff. There is a beautiful scene in the beach, where both adults go for a swim, even if it lasts only a few seconds. It's good to see the development that Sarandon's character has in this picture, thanks to a well written plot. The film as a whole just isn't better because sometimes it feels too strong; I mean, there is no comedy or any light scene to make it at least charming. This is pure drama! So, if that's what you're looking for, "The Greateast" is gonna be a good choice.
