A little too serious for its own good, perhaps. And the air gets let out at the end; perhaps 5 minutes could have been cut. But a really well observed and very well acted piece. Based on Andre Dubus’ stories (but, basically, it is John Updike without the humor.) They sure do have a lot of sex standing up in this movie.
