wallace shawn and the author of marie and bruce and who write the original play in which this film be base on and be a man whose work in the theater leave a lot to be desire . i do not wish anyone the experience we have with a play he co write with a brother and that be see at the mineta lane theater in new york about three year ago and in which the audience keep leave the performance because it be insufferable . this same quality can be say about this adaptation of yet another one of his work for the theater . direct by tom cairn and who also translate the material for the screen and show u a couple of misfit that have be together far too long and would have be good off dissolve their marriage some time ago . the main attraction for watch the picture be julianne moore and matthew broderick and both great actor that put in a brave appearance to be in front of the camera play these people . one wonder why hasn not marie leave bruce a long time before . it easy to see why bruce have stick to the situation because he doesn not have much to offer anyone else in her right mind . the film can infuriate would be viewer who would not have enough patience to sit right through it .
