A Thoughtful Story About Two Relationships
3 January 2016
Many of the reviews for this film seem polarized. Either they find it heroic or they despise it. I don't think it deserves either response.

The story explores the results of two contentious and dangerous relationships. There is suspense because there is an element of inevitability and it's just a matter of WHEN the house of cards collapses due to a mistake or poor judgment.

The acting is good. The conflicting feelings are believable. The writing is good--not because it advocates a point of view, but because it allows the characters to travel on a journey that feels possible and, sometimes, probable.

The film is set on beachfront property and it provides a beautiful and natural background that is also sensual.

There are many story lines what could have been cheesy or pandering, but the film remarkably feels set in a reality of consequences.
