I love Debra Winger and lament the fact of her too few performances over the past few years. She was the reason I watched this dreck of a movie. It makes no sense whatsoever. Why didn't they admit to each other their dalliances? What was all the secrecy for? And the ending...all I can say is, as predictable as it was given the foregoing plot, oi vey is mere. The direction was watching ketchup flow, the writing was absurd bearing no relation to actual human behavior in the circumstance of boredom in marriage.

It is one of those movies that was surprisingly good. Very little dialogue, yet Winger and Letts manage to say a lot with just their expressions. The chemistry of these two actors is the glue that holds this movie. It is not flashy, it is no Officer and gentlemen, however, what it is a subtle character study of two damaged characters worn down by the constitution of marriage. Aiden Gillen is pretty much playing Little finger here. The last act is pretty brilliant when we are introduced tot he couple's son. Also, it has one of those smart endings that will make people think and debate. I hope WInger and Letts at least get a golden globe nod if they don't get and Oscar nod.

Being of the older generation, I thought I would like this film more than I did.Debra Winger and Tracy Letts are a married couple with each having an affair and continually postponing telling the other that they're leaving. Thus, they're also stringing along their lovers being unable to fully commit one way or the other. Somehow, this rekindles Winger and Letts' passion for each other sexually.The movie is very slow-paced, has many awkward moments, but it does contain some deadpan humor that works at times. The film's characters are mostly unlikable and thus I was never really able to invest emotionally in them or really care what happened to them in the end.Overall, a disappointment to me.
