Things We Lost in the Fire 2007
- Director: Susanne Bier
- Cast: Halle Berry, Benico Del Toro, David Duchovny, Alexis Llewellyn, Micah Berry·
- Why? I remember liking it.
- Seen: Once before. Now 11 January 2026
Brian (Duchovny) and Jerry (Del Toro) have been friends since
childhood. Jerry grows up to become a heroin addict. Brian grows up to marry
Audrey (Berry), have two kids and live a well-to-do bourgeois life. He never
gives up on Jerry but Audrey hates him. When Brian dies, Jerry comes to the
funeral. She asks him to stay. She still hates him and tells him he should be the
one who died, but the kids love him.
Berry and Del Toro are very good but it’s kind of a strange story and a little too close to cliché and sentimentality to really score.
