There are so many things wrong with this movie. The plotline is very thin, but even what there is, is handled badly. The psychology is ludicrous. A couple have been together 27 years, but it feels like they met last week and hate each other.
It's manipulative in several ways.
1. At the crucial moment in the film, you're left in the dark as to what really happened, only so that you can have the "suspense" of waiting to find out a long time later, when you're past caring.
2. There are many shots taken from behind the main actress' head, but what is in focus is - the back of her head! With everything else blurred. An innovative technique for those enamoured of watching the back of people's heads.
3. The music is there just to tell you when you're supposed to feel tension (most of the time).
4. There's a dog in many scenes, if you like dogs, but it doesn't add much to the plot.
The actors deserved a lot better.
