Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. A lovable heroin addict helps a widow and her children cope with loss... Obvious and unconvincing...
2. Danish director Bier focuses on themes and relationships in what's otherwise a rather contrived melodrama.
3. Susanne Bier's first English-language film is a superbly written, powerfully emotional drama with terrific, Oscar-worthy performances from Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro.
4. ...raw and anguished performances...
5. Story of death and redemption too much for kids.
6. The first time you stare into Halle Berry's iris, it's interesting; by the fifth and sixth time it's exasperating.
7. Berry gives a riveting performance, but as a deeply decent man trapped in a hell of his own making, Del Toro gives the kind of career performance Berry gave in Monster's Ball.
8. 'Things We Lost in the Fire' deserves praise for its top-notch performances and its humanistic treatment of such serious subject matter as grief and addiction.
9. [Del Toro is] both beast and beauty in a movie that mismanages the idea that life is not a fairy tale.
10. Del Toro's face can be a map of emotions, and he's allowed to unfold it freely.

Summary:
Things We Lost in the Fire is a well-acted, beautifully filmed reflection on love, loss, addiction and recovery from life's obstacles.
