Blending the bleak irony and senstivity of 'American Beauty' with the sardonic wit of 'Desperate Housewives', This great film was one of the best of last year, despite having a low key cinema release.
Yet the film is perhaps more suited to the smaller screen reinforcing the claustrophobia of its surburban setting.
Kate Winslet plays Sarah, an uphappy new mum who begins affair with her equally disillusioned neigbour.
As their illict passion intensifies, we meet an array of intriguing number of characters each with their own secrets.
Although the ending is a little excessive, a funny and deeply moving portrait of a seemingly friendly community in crisis is captured with style.
The performances are all excellent, with Kate Winslet on truly expectional form - Oscar recognition is well deserved!
Thought this was an evening well spent - the story weaves together all of the seperate characters very well and brings things together for an interesting ending - the narration starts off being a tad annoying but after awhile its okay.
There are morals and thought provoking issues all through the film. A few parts raised a chuckle too.
An enjoyable film.
