The death of someone else in a car accident when you are the driver and especially when it is your fault should surely be approached with extreme care. However, in this movie, I never really felt that the writers wanted to get their hands too dirty with regard to the subject matter.
For instance, towards the end of the movie there is a 5 minutes montage where the main character goes from her previous state of mind to ask better and that's it. And this in a 2 hour long movie where they could probably have left some of the other material out without losing anything from the dynamic of the plot.
Also, let's be honest here, in reality this storyline likely would never happen. For 1, the cops would have been all over this case and she would have likely been prosecuted. It's clear the evidence is there because the father of 1 of the deceased confronts her with it near the end of the movie.
Plus, if he was aware of it, would be not have shared that info with the rest of the family, including his own son, who was her boyfriend? This would have required a massive change in the dynamic of the story. Too much so, in that it just would no longer work.
So way too many inconsistencies for me to be able to stay rooted in the characters.
