Yeah, I thought it was very good also. The ending, though I won't spoil it, fit the movie perfectly too. The relationships weren't explored in greater detail because I think Randy just didn't function at all outside of the ring, regardless of the circumstance. Whatever emotion or effort he put into trying to make them work was never going to be enough no matter what. I think the time spent on them was appropriate given his character, especially since he decided to make an effort so late in his life. I'll admit, I did expect more of the movie to focus on these relationships or lack thereof, but when it was all said and done, it made sense. Very sad, but by no means a depressingly bleak movie.
