    A great movie I saw recently that directly deals with the author's situation is Oslo, August 31. Grant it, there's little in the movie that the author would find comforting, but overall I found it to be a very realistic, if harsh, portrait of someone who has misspent a large portion of their adult life and the struggle to correct course.
