I was disappointed by this film - I had high hopes, because of the cast and director and the subject matter. However, my impression is that of indecision and sensationalism. If this film was meant to be a realistic portrayal of the outcome of the breakdown of a marriage, then I have some complaints. The first half, the set up or background to the main event, was too patchy and wishy-washy. The second half, in contrast, was schlocky and gimmicky. The result is shock (the wrong kind!) and a bad after-taste in the mouth. If this film was meant to portray an unhappy woman's fantasy, then it did not go far enough. A surrealistic spin (something like the style of American Beauty) would have been more appropriate here. In short: good acting, clever twists and visual gimmickry, but patchy and indecisive in style.
