The film's unlikely premise: 50-something mother and wife all but cuts ties with her elderly parents, her son, her daughter, her husband, her brother, other family -- to live alone!! After thus emancipating herself, is she any happier? Is her life any better? No, her expression shows same shade of tired drab joylessness as before. I feel sorry for her. In the sequel -- please try antidepressants!!!
