Watched this on Blu-Ray tonight after I got home. Truely great acting, Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman are amazing. There isn't a glare, or look they miss. The characters are so real, and so interesting, that you just can't not watch them. Even the boys mom (Miss Davis), who you expect to be a small part, gives a performance leaving your heart pounding. Their reactions are also so authentic for their characters... the movie probably has the best acting of any film I have seen.
