8/10
What really Happened

Warning: Spoilers
(FYI: I think the spoiler I'm about to state isn't anything more than you would get from a preview)

The buildup during their "special" night suggests that they did it. However, their fight in the kitchen (and immediately after) suggests that they did not.

Regardless I have to give this film two thumbs up at least, it isn't sleazy, another romantic comedy, or simple indie flick. It addresses real concerns.

For those who have watched the film I have a few questions:

a - Did they BOTH actually do it but lied to save their marriage? b - Was He testing her (OR was it a case that he really wasn't interested in doing it but she was)? This is shown by her getting "dolled up" for the special night and he was like I don't really need to bother! c - Was SHE testing him (OR did she lie when she got into the car after the kitchen fight to save face)? d - Did they BOTH NOT do it - you know - because they "loved" each other too much?

I think the answer is (a). Not all arguments are disagreements! People who are very close and who talk too much to each other about every little thing and bare every tiny emotion can have this built in communication to auto lie, and agree, and happily move on, without actually using the words... but then I might be living in coo coo land....

What really happened?
