Expectations, conventions and...friends. When a married couple decides to separate, mutual friends can often be a casualty in proceedings, having to choose sides somehow. This deftly directed film offers an alternative vision: it weaves the closely-entwined threads of friendship within a group of longtime pals into a touching portmanteau that reflects on personal courage and possibilities pre- and post-breakup. The wonderful ensemble cast go a long way in carrying the argument that, indeed, breaking up doesn't have to be a zero-sum game. Catch this movie for a bittersweet yet hopeful take on moving on when a relationship has run out of road.
