Lacci

I like such stylish movies that are choke full of creative pockets within the story. There's an organic flow to it with not much of a manipulative stress on the characters.

The angle taken to observe a failed (?or maybe not? Maybe that IS the norm?) marriage is fresh. The transitions between now and then create a fine vibe. It was a simple story told in a smart way, despite the perpetrators of the key event did not really justify that particular act. The song at the ending credits was cool.

But still... I find the subject matter a bit too common, too overused and too weak by itself. Even despite the fine touches (like the wife wanting the daughter to not take off but place under her clothes the gift necklace chosen by the "other woman") I had difficulty truly CARING about the issue these two people had.

It may be just a phase for me, but I guess I kind of need to have some bigger story, something beyond the emotions and daily lives of two people, to dive profoundly into the realm of a movie.
