Lori S Mar 20, 2020 Very good story about love and loss and moving on with life. See more patricia e Mar 10, 2020 Well acted by all. Story is sad, but redemptive in the end which demonstrates the resilience we all possess. See more Lou C @DCarta 5 days ago Brilliant.....all round.... The dark reality of a devoted unhealthy marriage that exceeds the expiration date..the death of a marriage and the fragmented pain. The survival beyond... A deep dive into blind narcissism and its unbearable grip that tortures lives... It is the worst type, a self-righteous controlling type that can never see their affliction...Edward, is the Hero in this Story... Even with the infidelity... Because you can't escape without help. Love just isn't enough...there must be Peace... Annette Bening, Bill Nighy and Josh O'Connor are absolutely outstanding with this brilliantly written script! See more Ian S @RT48225084 Jul 18, 2026 A family drama about a couple divorcing after 29 years of marriage. A familiar story with top notch acting especially Annette Bening as the blindsided wife. See more Tweety K @Birdissa Mar 6, 2026 People might think this is about the failure of a marriage. Yes, but it is also about narcissism. Narcissism has been portrayed millions of different ways. This movie does a very good job of showing how one person's narcissism manifests so clearly. I think it is brilliant. Stunning in how blatantly this portrayal is. The characters are perfect counterpoints to each other. It is like a ballet. There is not one wasted word in this script. Annette Benning is up to the task. She shows how blatantly hungry a narcissistic person with high narcissistic traits is. How she wants to devour all the peace in the room. Her husband has been a slave to her personality for decades and she has finally tapped him out. He says he met a woman he started to know. When she touched his arm so gently he knew he loved and needed her. Annette Benning's character is a hungry wrecking ball who makes her husband feel less than human. but demands he take it and talk to her when she wants. This is pure genius.
