I was surprised by several elements of the movie - Clint directs with more sensitivity than I would have thought possible and his own portrayal of Robert is very good also. I admire Meryl Streep more than any other actor and she is very good in this, too. You can feel the sexual tension between the actors and that is when the movie is at its best - the little moments when dialogue is at a minimum but there is a lot going on. It was also nice to see a couple of approximately the same age, and also nice that Meryl's husband wasn't made out to be this total jerk, thereby giving a segment of the audience the reason to understand why she is having an affair. Sometimes things just happen between people and that's what I got out of this movie.
