We Don't Live Here Anymore
Jack Linden (Mark Ruffalo) and Hank Evans (Peter Krause) are best friends who both teach at the same university in a small New England town. They both have young children and Jack's wife, Terry (Laura Dern) is close with Hank's wife, Edith (Naomi Watts). But while things appear happy on the surface, there are smouldering pockets of discontent underneath. Financial struggle and domestic boredom has drained the passion from Jack and Terry's marriage, while Hank's numerous infidelities and self-absorption has prompted Edith to find both comfort and sexual fulfilment with Jack. As Jack begins spending more and more time with Edith, it becomes obvious to Terry, whose anger culminates in a sexual encounter with Hank. Now that the deception has come full circle, both couples are left to decide the futures of their shattered unions...

[Highly rated reviewer]
Excellent adult relationship drama
Adult drama about two couples whose marriages are in difficulty, resulting in an affair developing between the husband of one and wife of the other. Great performances lift this film up to being, again, one of the best I've seen this year. Backed by a good score, it isn't really a new premise (based on two short stories by the guy who's short story was the inspiration for In The Bedroom) but after watching Crash it just felt so much more involving and real.

Incredibly dull.........
What a boring film, two couples having affairs with each other and that's all that happens, they get annoyed with their partners, they shout a bit, cry a bit and are just generally a depressed which makes for a very boring and depressing film. Yeah I'm sure some of the acting might have been great had I been able to keep my eyes open. Very very dull!
