I thought the sound track, or what i refer to as the constant loop of dreadful somber music, was so painful i wanted to stop watching the movie altogether. The best scene in the movie was at the end, when the husband of the realtor turned off his hearing aid, making the film silent for a few precious moments.

Also, everyone acted like they were on stage. From Kathy Bates over the top performance, to that Math guy that ended an argument, only to walk away, come back, walk away, come back, as if he was on stage. Also the “Take one step closer and i’m going to scream. (one step, scream, holds hands over head as if a nuclear bomb went off) That was ridiculous.

Sorry, I thought this movie was an aboslute waste of time. Every line spoken by April was so vague she could’ve been talking about anything. I thought she was on schrooms for most of the movie. Watch it again thinking that April was on shrooms, and it becomes pretty hilarious, and probably makes more sense, as you realize she has no idea what she’s talking about. Sam Mendes, f*&% you.

The whole entire movie I was just thinking why not just move back to the city. I would want to kill my self if i lived in Ct. too. I was seriously getting angry with them for not even considering it an option.

You summed up my thoughts quite well, thank you! I keep thinking of this movie because I expected so much more and ended up depressed and disappointed. Especially given the current times, where people are losing their homes and good jobs, however boring, are hard to find, their “drama” just seems so out of line …. self inflicted. Don’t need to see this one again, but yes, I also loved the clothing, furniture, and music!

I’d find the characters and their situations easier to relate to if they were not so phenomenally self-absorbed. My go-to movie for real struggling relationships of all kinds is The Wrestler, which depicts struggling without also suffering from intense melodrama.

This was the best movie I have seen in a really long time. How could anyone here not relate to it? It was heartbreaking to see them living a lie. Their whole exsitance was a lie. They hated their lives, yet felt trapped in the pressures of the society they were foreced to be apart of. Every couple in the movie was trapped in a loveless hopeless marriage. The movie conveyed all of this very well. And the desire to truly live not just go through the motions of a life you are supposed to live, but a life WORTH living. I personally was touched by the movie and found the acting very convincing as an actress myself. The way each character could speak through just their eyes and facial expressions I mean it was very real and heartrenching to watch the characters live a hopeless life. I think everyone feels that way at times, when you finally realize that there is more to life worth living than just going through the motions, but not knowing how to get there. I was just suprised not to see any good reviews of this movie. I loved it and would encourage those not looking for another Titanic romance, but a film about real struggling relationships, to go out there and see it. Phenominal film.

I saw this movie last night. I really really wanted to like it too… but I don’t know. I just couldn’t get there.

I mean the acting was good…but I just had no emotional connection at all to this.

I agree with what you said about Leo being off. It was like the dialogue didn’t gel with his mouth or something? I couldn’t figure it out.
