I thought this movie was excellent.
I was drawn by the fact it featured Meryl Streep and in my mind, she can do no wrong. But I was amazed that it was Julianne Moore that I found to be the most interesting character of the lot. Maybe because she never says outright what her problem is, although it becomes clear (or at least in my mind) that she is simply unhappy of living a hum-drum existence.For a while I was expecting Moore's character to turn out to be having an affair; I was wrong.
The boy playing her son was absolutely wonderful. He managed to convey an understanding that his mother was depressed yet convincingly depict his confusion on the reasons behind her condition.
My only question was why was there so much same sex kissing?
