Overview
Dean and Cindy live a quiet life in a modest neighborhood. They appear to have the world at their feet at the outset of the relationship. However, his lack of ambition and her retreat into self-absorption cause potentially irreversible cracks in their marriage.
One of the most gritty movies about love that I have ever seen. The story is told in two separate story lines – one where the couple has just met and is falling in love and… well… the other one. The contrast is stunning and really socks the viewer in the proverbial gut. At the end I was exhausted and emotionally spent and I loved every minute of it.
