Although the acting was competent and the story had some interesting twists, I found the major flaw of this film was that I never once felt emotionally connected with any of the characters.
I basically didn't care what happened to them. The story was too clinical and distant. I never felt the pain & anguish of the people populating this film.An unexpected hit! - BhellaT
I was unsure as to what to expect with this film about questioning relationships, but it was definitely an unexpected delight! The story was compelling and the whole cast did an excellent job with their spellbinding acting skills. One could not help but feel a connection with each character, hoping that each would find their way to happiness. There are several questions, however, that just linger thoughout the movie, such as why does Closes character feel so attached to her husband? and why don't we ever get to see this well known photographer? In any case, this movie is worth definitely worth renting.Well done - pfaulkner
Character studies, when done well, can pull you in unlike any $200M special effects that seem to pollute our screens.
It takes time and depth and cannot be glosed over with mechanical or other effects creations.
From the first scene, until the screen credits at the end this is story telling at its best!!
