The previous comments to this movie are indeed polarised! And I think it would make an interesting analysis if one were to know what gender and if happily married or single were each of the respondents with regard to how they wrote their summary of this film.
Personally I found the acting certainly adequate to portray the basic storyline of this movie: a husband & wife with poor emotional dynamics. Why Alexandra didn't leave her husband sooner is one Q I would ask her if I could. There's no point staying in a marriage when it gets this bad.
This is an adult film. I would wonder why a parent would want to take their teen to see this. It is an intended confronting film and one that could make people, especially the married ones, reassess how healthy is their marriage.
The person who considered this film "a dull story" - maybe they don't want to face the reality that many relationships suffer the same horror, in different but similar guises. After all it's a truth that sex is a loaded topic/means of control/manipulation in the 'battle of the sexes', so to speak, especially where the male has more influence/control.
The film covers many important aspects about life & family: what is the meaning of love especially in a marriage; when is it time to call it quits, even with children; is revenge ever acceptable, and so on.
An important film, albeit not one for the masses (too boring I suspect for the likes of today's world of high-tech film sports) if one is courageous enough to see the implications for us all.
