The movie is one of the greatest I've ever watched because of the closeness to the reality. All the feelings the actors are recreating could happen to anyone and why always it should be with happy ending? It touches so deeply the mind (as many reviewers already described very well) that you cannot not start asking yourself questions; and probably even recognize yourself in a particular role. It goes down to think about: what's the real betrayal? Is it the attraction, the one night sex without feelings or the platonic relationship with your soulmate. Could be both.. But choosing the "right thing" for the society and for the partner, is it always the right thing for you? If not, aren't you cheating to yourself? These are questions which I believe, will never get the right answers for all of us. It's always about the choices we make and if we are able to live with the consequences of them

In my opinion, this is one of the most emotionally profound Hollywood movies I've seen in years. I watched it few years ago and I still think about it, almost every time I am doing my research for what to watch next. It is a very neat representation of love and infidelity. The triangular connection between emotions, rationality and irrationality is shown in a most simple way. Watching this movie, I felt like I'm watching a European or Iranian cinema. I especially appreciated how the movie ended, telling us that its ending is not as important as the question this movie proclaimed: Emotional or physical infidelity, which one is worse?

The film is centered around lust & doubts. These two are responsible to ruin a good marriage & end a crappy one.This is what happened here. Kera is full of doubt about if she made the right decision or not. She is still in love with her Ex-Boyfriend & thinks about him everyday. While Sam succumbed to lust. He couldn't resist the temptation to have sex with Eva even though he loves his wife.The film shows that marriage is full of hurdle.You can never be too sure about the decision you made with your life. You will keep wondering if you made the right one or not.Temptation is also part of your marriage life. Its hard not to be attracted to someone just cause you are in a marriage & love somebody else.A key to a good marriage is to resist these temptation,overcome these hurdle & get over your doubts.Which both of the the main star failed to achieve.They surrendered.Kera is still in love & she is not happy in her marriage. Her head is full of doubts.She will probably never be happy in this marriage anymore.Sam on the other hand couldn't resist Eva's charm.I don't see Eva in high regards either. She seduced a married man & made him cheat his wife.She couldn't resist the temptation of sleeping with Sam too.Overall this film portrays the real life hurdle of a marriage & I know people would love if they saw neither of them cheated (Kera not fully) but this is also part of the life.

I saw this with a friend I had not seen in years, so i was "prepared" to like it. However, unfortunately, I came out of the cinema disappointed. Surprisingly(considering "The Jacket"), the problems were more in the writing than the execution.It is safe, hinging on stereotypes and typecasting. I guess, most of the time we can't expect anything more from a directorial debut.Simply put, we have a film about infidelity - physical vs emotional. Within this frame we have two separate stories as allegories for each type, each involving one piece of a married couple we observe for 2 successive nights. It started by an encouraging "shared" parallel recollection of an evening that potentially could have been the "last night", if Massy was bolder and more willing to explore nonlinear narrative. Instead, we see the "last night" on the following day when the parallel narration starts to rely on contrast. This could have worked a little better if not for the fact that the adultery had no life or chemistry....such an oxymoron.The incongruity continues at the end when Keira is committing to a statement while Massy is not. Out of control.It could have been different if Sam's character went to LA, instead of Philly, on the morning after the "last night."2/5 - Safe
