I am a third Generation Montanan and this movie filmed near my hometown of Livingston, Montana. It featured a church my father helped to build which is included in the Robert Redford film, a River Runs Through It.
I worked in the addictions field for many years including in a women's prison and this story is a pretty accurate portrayal of addiction and some of the patternings that can follow. The relationship between Matt's character and his sponsor was so touching to me.
I also thought the way Yup'ik was depicted was in keeping with my own experience of raising Siberian huskies -- they are escape artists, extremely stubborn, and more toward the feral end of dog breeds, but they so loving and absolutely worth it, and true life changing.
