Summary: A married couple Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael (Sam Worthington) have a moment apart when Michael makes a business trip with a co-worker, Laura (Eva Mendes), he's attracted to and by "chance" Joanna bumps into an old flame, Alex (Guillaume Canet). It then details their night apart and the feelings they both have and they both struggle with fidelity.
Review: The cinematography was decent and I loved the somber mood the music set throughout the movie. Knightley was definitely very attractive in her elegance this film and Canet was charming. I just never quite got into the plot and couldn't really relate to enjoy it despite Knightley's presence. The diaglouge and the subtle queues in the movie were appreciated though.
Further Question/Theme/Philosophy: What is considered cheating? What is considered unfaithful? Is monogamy unrealistic?
Power Rating (Out of 5): 2 The movie was well made, but I just didn't quite enjoy it at all.
