The acting in this movie is often very good, but the story is poorly executed (as is the overly loud and usually discordant music).It's true that couples can drift far apart emotionally yet stay together for a long time, but there's no indication here of why this couple ever felt attracted to each other in the first place. There's also not enough suggestion of why the wife does the horrible thing she does to her husband -- one brief scene with a priest that seems to delve into horrors from her own past isn't enough (and it's not even clear that that's what the scene is about).This movie strives for an artistic, art-house feeling, but it fails to convey a genuine sense of the lives of these characters. Seemingly significant events happen that never get picked up on again. The actors deserve better than the several forms of clumsiness surrounding them.
