OK, so I watched this movie once and did not really understand it (I am always great at understanding weird plot lines and symbolism in movies) The second time I watched it, which was tonight, I finally got it! Yes, obviously the entire movie is a fantasy in Danika's mind. She is probably schizophrenic or has multiple personality disorder or maybe she just went crazy and we don't know what is wrong with her, that is why she is manifesting another reality. She has created a whole reality for herself that is obviously not real. At first I was a bit confused as to whether she gets in the crash while her children are younger or older, like in the present, I thought maybe that was another twist they wanted to throw at you. But yea, it is definitely while they are young, after she finds her husband cheating, therefore the whole reality of her and her semi-normal, semi-happy family is pure delusion. It is simply how her mind copes with her illness and the obvious post traumatic stress from killing her children in the crash. This one really threw me at first, but once you understand it, I think it is pretty clever and original. You really feel for her when you see Danika in the last scene sitting on the bench watching the world go by and all the while playing this drama in her head. It makes you think how many people out there probably experience this same exact thing every day. All in all, a pretty decent movie, but definitely not recommended for those who want it simple and laid out. This takes some concentration and after thought. Enjoy :)
