... View MoreSimple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
... View MoreExcellent film for the given budget and cast. The movie is very slow paced but the climax and overall message makes it worth a watch. There are only about 5 characters in the whole movie besides a couple of run of the mill office scenes with yuppies passing in and out of the frame. I would recommend this to people who are into Independent Films and enjoy non- traditional types of movies. Its not supposed to be scary at all it leans heavily towards suspense but falls quite short of edge of your seat. Don't watch with your children, the nudity isn't very graphic but the whole movie in general just isn't for kids. I also wouldn't make this movie a prime time weekend watcher, maybe 3rd choice at best. If you like this one you should also check out Anti-Christ with Willem Dafoe. Well I hope that this was helpful, take care.
... View MoreI have absolutely no intention of viewing this film and thank you all for your sacrifice.I had a bad first marriage...He cheated...I left. Period. No tracking cars, no detectives, zip. No alimony. Just pay the child support and get the EF out. Kapeesh?No Proof. Not until years later. But I just knew and left. No video tape. I just told him I'm leaving. I told him he treated me like a piece of property and I was gone.I am a true feminist. I didn't need his alimony or BS. The kids were half his he pays because I put him through school and he earned more money.Not all feminists are this nuts. We leave and take care of ourselves and our responsibilities.I will never humiliate myself to see this film.Once again, Thank you all for your sacrifice. P.S. I hope these actors we're well paid.

... View MoreMale fear. This movie hits sensitive spots. It's hard to give a number out of 10 to, because my gut says 1, but my brain says "That's exactly what it wanted to hear." All the technicals are fine, but the draw in this film is the message. As a man, I found it hard to sit through. There is condemnation here, the villain is unclear, and everything in the end is muddled. This is a movie that provokes very strong feelings, and whether or not you agree with what the characters say, you have to admit it does poke a scalpel into some vulnerable parts, as it applies to men and women.This movie is a seat-squirmer. It is talk-heavy, and there is plenty to nod along to or shake your fist at.
... View MoreIt certainly is a thought provoking film, but it seems so mean spirited, and the characters so unlikeable, that it's hard to like it, even though it's undeniably interesting. Of course Steve, the husband, is a pretty clueless and clumsy character, but considering that Alexandra makes it pretty plain that she's been disgusted with their sex life and probably everything else since the honeymoon, her inability or unwillingness to articulate this, or to bring any of her real problems up until the event of the movie makes her long and carefully planned response viciously passive-aggressive, to the point of true craziness. To say that he drove her crazy, even if true in a way, doesn't make her any less crazy. To say, more or less, "I've gone through the last 14 years saying yes but meaning no, and because you didn't guess, now I'm going to ruin your life" is plum crazy even if the guy is a jerk.I still give it a few points for good acting, a reasonable bit of tension, and for making me think a bit after it's over, even if only to reflect on why it bothers me.
