About
If you like talky, adult relationship dramas with biting humor and uncomfortable honesty, this fits, especially if you enjoyed Manhattan or Crimes and Misdemeanors; Not for you if constant arguing, cynical takes on marriage, or a jittery, interview-style presentation will wear you out.
Pros: sharp relationship observations; witty, uneasy humor; strong ensemble acting | Cons: lots of bickering; bleak, unsatisfying tone; shaky documentary style
