despite all of the negative review i have read and ( and there be plenty . ) i actually like this movie . the writing be quite good and even though there require a certain suspension of disbelief in the plot and the character remain true to form . lange and paltrow i consider to be two of the best actress around today and they truly carry the film . the film build a psychodramatic suspense in the character of lange and paltrow that transcend the shortcoming of the plot detail .
