The High Cost of Living is a 2010 indie drama film starring Zach Braff, Isabelle Blais and Aimee Lee.

Written and directed by Deborah Chow and set in Montreal, the film centers on a young, pregnant woman whose world falls apart when she loses her child in a hit and run accident due to her drug abuse and negligence.

[2] Nathalie (Isabelle Blais) watches her life unravel after she loses her pregnancy due to a hit and run accident.

She finds an unlikely protector in Henry (Zach Braff), a down and out guardian angel who has followed her thread.

[4] The New York Times wrote: This film bears all the hallmarks of a conventional indie drama: "a downbeat scenario, flawed protagonists, and a strongly regional inflection."
