Outstanding!

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2003)

It's a tribute to the producers of this movie that it can be such a great movie without my liking any of the characters in it. It is easier to identify with the feelings of the characters moreso than their actions on those feelings. It is the genius of the movie that all of the characters act on those feelings, regardless of the consequences to themselves or others. EVERY character in this movie is disfunctional... it's only a matter of degree. Nonetheless, it is a haunting movie that provokes thought long after the viewer has finished viewing it. The wife especially does an outstanding job of portraying her character, 'though it is difficult to like the character.
Overall, a very good, thought provoking movie, from a person who rarely feels that way about a contemporary film.
