Two marriages and four lives are brought to a crossroads by infidelity in this drama, based on a pair of short stories by author Andre Dubus. Jack (Mark Ruffalo) is a college professor whose marriage to Terry (Laura Dern) has been going through a rough patch.

As it happens, Edith is also attracted to Jack, and they soon begin an affair that Edith is certain will soon be found out. Hank, meanwhile, is a man with a flexible attitude about his own fidelity, and he falls into a relationship with Terry. Before long, all four parties learn about the infidelity of their spouses and friends, with differing reactions; Terry becomes desperate to save her marriage, Jack decides he's in love with Edith, but neither couple is willing to divorce.

    I think this movie shows how marriages go wrong in the rawest way. I like that its a film that doesn't have the cliche'd third act that ends in violence. Instead this film is about the compromises that are made when these infidelity occurs in a family. In a time where everyone wants to always talk about the sanctity of marriage and all that other stuff, I think this is a great film that shows that marriage is a rough as hell. I think Laura Dern's line, "even adultery has its morality" sums up the whole film. Great dialogue and writing. Definitely not for those who believe in storybook endings and cliche'd perfect stories.

    The acting was outstanding... great cast. I plan on reading the short stories by Andre Dubus that the film was based on which hopefully will enlighten and help me understand this movie.
