This movie seemed really good from all it's reviews and clips - however i must admit i was disappointed. The pace of this movie was slow - and it did not have a plot. Besides "Unfathfull" - this is the only movie i have seen on adultery - and when compared - this stands weak.
The performances can be given credit - especially Laura Dern's. That performance has got Oscar potential. Peter Krause gives almost identical performance due to the almost similar character in "Six Feet Under", Naomi Watts also gives a good performance, but because we have seen her playing these dark roles prior to this in "21 Grams" it looks all familiar. Mark Ruffalo - well i guess he is good in this movie - but i guess seeing him in "In the cut" and "You can count on me", makes his performance something more mature.
Well this is certainly not a movie that's good for movie night - i guess its just a critics movie. However Laura Dern is brilliant - and the Academy always gives room for the character of 'the dark wife' - like Marcia Gay Harden in "Mystic River." However - i guess for movie freaks - this should be a movie that should be checked out just for Dern's performance.
