Initially, we felt anger towards the sister for seducing her younger brother. It was all her fault this incest relationship ever began.
Unfortunately, (Clive) the brother had to be disfunctional to react so strongly, but his sister was usually telling him what to do. Smothering him most of his life??
We felt the husband, (Alan Rickman) was the real victim of this sordid affair.
Somewhat undecided if we cared for this movie or not, but won't watch it again.Gutsy but bland. - Apollo56
Ever since Clive Owen broke into the mainstream, he has made many gutsy and unconventional actor, but his role in this movie might be his most daring. Not many movies deal with incest in such an explicit manner. The problem with this movie though, is once the initial shock of the taboo wears off, the movie itself becomes a standard, wife cheating on husband affair. The three leads are all very good, especially Owen it is just a shame they are in a cookie cutter of a movie (albeit with a pretty large twist).interesting movie - agolden
I thought this was a very provocative movie. It handled a very strange and weird premise very well. The acting was top notch and well dramatized. Clive Owen was very good in his role and no lack of suggestive scenes with him appearing nude in alot of the movie and with one scene where he shows all his body from the side. Very risque for main stream actors to show all but is becoming more the norm. Would recommend it but not for everyone.
