3/10
Not a single likeable character, no real closure.

Warning: Spoilers
I found the movie to be extremely disappointing on the account of the fact, that none of the characters are acting in any understandable way, nor are they likeable or relatable in any way at all.

The husband is an obviously over the top stupid and careless guy, who apparently goes on a month-long (!) trip away every year (??), leaving his wife and two kids alone. He is shown again and again to be a bit callous and not knowing about his wife. We are obviously needing to understand that he is not doing well in the relationship.

The wife Nina is throwing her life and family away to get with some old flame, a seemingly younger guy without too much consideration. We are just supposed to take it that this guy who she had a one-night-stand with is some sort of "the one who got away" and that this guy also feels the same. We are also just supposed to take it that it's okay for her to act out on account of her husband's behavior.

The other guy is acting stupidly, and short-sighted and is willingly driving a family apart for some woman who he barely really knows. And we are to see that he bought chocolate for kids, so he's a great guy apparently.

The storyline progresses in fairly obvious ways until the end, at which point the movie tries to be super deep with an open ending that leaves the viewer unresolved without any real closure. I guess it's supposed to make you wonder how hard of a decision it is for Nina to leave her husband? In reality, it just makes you realize how little you care about anybody in this movie as they are all doing the most insensitive, careless behavior all the time and just get the consequences of their actions laid out.

Overall a complete waste of time to watch in my opinion.
