Quick review. No major spoilers, but I might be giving away bits of it, but nothing major or about the ending.
Interesting movie. I don't know if we really enjoyed it, but an interesting character study. Two observations: 1.) I feel bad for the Lesbian community in that they finally get a well made mainstream movie with smart and somewhat strong Lesbian characters just to have one of the characters decide to hook up with a man. Give me a break. While there are plenty of bi-sexual people out there....Lesbians who are married and raising children usually do not just "need some man" to fix their problems. That was a cop out. Find another issue. The homophobes (who would not watch this movie anyways) are just going to think that all Lesbians just need a man to cure them. Sure.....
2.) Mark Ruffalo is great. He plays the most narcissistic, selfish, self-important (yes, I know these words are basically synonyms, but I am doing so for emphasis) jerk I have seen in a while. I cannot believe that anyone would act like this and just try to destroy a family while pretending to have good intentions. Wow! Anyways, worth seeing, but disappointing in some ways.
