About
You may like this if you want an intense, adult drama about grief, infidelity, and a damaged family that can feel unsettling yet absorbing; Not for you if explicit sex, bleak moods, or morally messy characters turn you off, like in Unfaithful.
Pros: strong performances; thought-provoking grief drama; dark humor touches | Cons: slow pace; unsettling sexual content; hard to sympathize
