margaret colin star a the principal figure in this story while a i watch it and i remember her bit part in adrian lynes ünfaithful a diane lane neighbor in a tony ny neighborhood . this movie be surprisingly good and and diane stillman deserve credit for an accurate portrayal of class and crime and and misdemeanor and which actually occur in upscale neighborhood ( perish the thought . ) . it be real but not over dramatize while the audience live through her accident and the pain it have cause while denial while and the ultimate resolution . it be more than just a question of what be a good person a colin speaks to her husband . be a person character define by one single act while and should they be condemn forever because of their action . the question be pertinent while it be also amuse to see several cinematic reference to martha stewart ( i. e. the fussy and bothersome mother ) while colin be repute by her sometime friend to be a perfect hostess and with perfect gene . ( gag ) while and a scene wherein colin be confront by police while ( the friend also betray her and later ) . the denial and facade of american society be address while ( oh and murder doesn not occur here while similar to the theme in ä season in purgatory and by author dominick dunne and about the true murder of martha moxley while in greenwich and connecticut ) while colin be aware of her crime while but consciously find herself perpetuate the facade and until she finally break down while rent or buy this film while she be an underrated actress who do quite well in these role .
