"Where is this love?"

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2013)

Having recently come of out of a long term relationship, I watched this film based on a recommendation of it's potentially cathartic qualities.
What unfolds is a tale of the polluting effect of paranoia, and the dark side of compromise.
Break ups are painfully authentic. The emotion conveyed by the cast, particularly Portman, compensates for dialogue that is occasionally overblown and unrealistic.
Crucially this film will have you empathising with those that display infidelity. When relationships are reconciled amidst a backdrop of seemingly unforgivable events, the allure that calls them home is an entirely understandable one.
