The writing, acting and direction are wonderful in this film. I simply can't find fault with the quality of the film. However, like a few other comments here on IMDb, I found this film depressing and difficult to watch. However, that isn't all bad--such a film can also get you to think. After all, nearly half of all marriages end in divorce so it's good to see someone attempting to broach the topic of a failed marriage! But, I am afraid that many who view the film could easily take the attitude that infidelity is inevitable (especially since the featured couple is so "civilized" about adultery). Of course, it also is very possible that the movie COULD be a warning that advises us not to be stuck in sick roles within a marriage but deal more openly and truthfully. Who knows. at least it made me think.
