For me, I can get behind a movie with no character arcs, as long as I find the material interesting. Sometimes, in life, people don't change. They repeat their reckless behavior and continue, on repeat. I totally get that that doesn't necessarily make for compelling cinema, but I do remember enjoying this movie as I watched it. Either way, I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting here.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-80305949236167664482018-05-31T19:28:37.841-04:002018-05-31T19:28:37.841-04:00I found this movie to be a frustrating waste of ti...I found this movie to be a frustrating waste of time with the way it ended. I watched even though it was quite repetitive as there is the sense that it is building towards something but in the end it's just more of the same. Without some depiction of a change how is the viewer supposed to believe that there is any based on the track record of these characters? Plus if she loves her husband so much that she can't bare to leave him (pre baby) why did she have an affair to begin with? We get no back story to say that she was swept off her feet by this writer who was perusing her inspite of her wedding band...Gandalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421556125570368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-9832329386421978812015-08-11T12:50:52.048-04:002015-08-11T12:50:52.048-04:00Hmmm, I don't actually.
