Dark movie, despite the title, 20 October 2001
Author: Randy H. Farb (rhfarb@yahoo.com) from United States

This movie has many darkly lit scenes despite the title. Herb Edelman truly proves he can act in this tour-de-force drama of a bored housewife seeking adventure. Lee Grant is excellent also, but the stand-out is Denise Nickerson, who showed quite an acting range.
