dramas of life,dark and somber. Jennifer in this piece plays the role different than i expect and i was thrown off at first but then i saw where the drama was going. At first we are introduced to budding novelist with the Salinger name of the classic american nover cathcher in the rye,probably the most well known,though short,novels of modern america. This type of character which not only is a source of drama but evokes commentary throughout is interesting,and he leads the character into a series of scenes adultery(where she is never
emotionally/sensitively involved,which is why the director expends explicit scenes showcasing them). The film shoots like a play,ideas of being cuckolded
and the dreary effects of urbanization around the focal point of a walmart type
establishment,which like in the novel Dickens Hard Times wears down on the characters as they become increasingly alienated and have little inner life
or values,just parts of the environment,except the male character which shows some life but is done away with at the end and is thought to be crazy(or
perhaps too sane). The one part of the film i did like was the attempt to
show christian revival as a counterpoint to what's draining much of life in
the modern world...but it never really gets anywhere and the characters dont
seem that interested,and the spouse of Jennifer seems antagonized by the nazarene character and his wife's feelings for him,that's what occupies these
crudish male characters their wives personal feelings and bonds to other men,
which they can never quite deal with,and their is good drama about a romance
among friends. A dark comedy of modern life,bringing up old themes in the
fictional world of st catharines a small towm representing small town
characters,the one star,and the inability of the characters to impose change
on their environment,and they become sticks and driven like the wind by their
stimulus-response type reaction not only to sex, but everything,the director or
writer comments on characters with little mental life,sensualist at the
core and completely conditioned by their environment, making them what they are.
Of all the actresses films,and i'm one of those old fashioned critics who
likes virtuous females not succumbing so much to their environs and having
some inner resilience,for that reason i like this role least,although her
acting is good and so is the film,it has a depressing aura around it true to
life though it is. All to true...the characters resemble all too frankly what
is wrong in our own haunted worlds,spectors and cuckolds like the holloween
imagery,and our failure is that they so dominate our worlds to the neglect and solace of the revival spirit which is quenched like all redeeming values in this
excellent art like film. The actress offers a very good commentary on this film
which shows her excedding and illuminating the bounds of conventions,although
I like her roles in other films. I've seen this film a few times,and it had a good run.
Anyway, this is a droopy, sad movie. Everyone is depressed, and everyone happy ends up dead. (A coworker, Gwen, who was about the only upbeat character, dies from food poisoning.) It is about Justine having to make choices, to be with her lover, or be with her stoned husband who cares for her, but is always high. Justine seems torn, but as she narrates her story, it seems she's made up her mind of dropping one of them.
The first time I saw this movie, it made me depressed, as all the character's were. That is why I like it, not because I like being depressed, but if a movie can make you feel a certain way you wouldn't have felt unless watching the movie, then it does a good job. This is my opinion of an effective movie, maybe not a great one, but effective at changing your mind about things, making you think, changing your emotions, or making you want to know more.
I loved this movie, because while being depressed, it made me think about the horrible choice Justine had to face. This DVD also claims to be a romantic comedy, there are a few funny moments, but I would never call this a comedy. A story about a sad married woman, who loves her younger coworker, but can't leave her husband. If I were Justine, I would have chosen Holden most likely. But after I thought about it, they are only bonded and their relationship is where it is because they're both depressed, and that's it. They seem to share little similarities beyond depression and hating everything.
So, I loved it. I own it, and I've watched it 3 times in one month. If you don't like being sad, or sad movies, or romance, or anything similar to the plot of this movie, don't watch it. But if you like the idea of this, sad movies, romance, and some spread around jokes (Zooey Deschanel is amazing in this!) then you'd like this.
For those who get the DVD, there are not a ton of extras, but they do include a commentary track on the movie with the director and writer, scene-specific commentary by Aniston, and a gag reel. So, while there is not a lot there, what was included was good.
Overall, the movie is very good. It definitely has the feel of a smaller budget independent movie, but that does not take away from its quality. Both Aniston and Gyllenhall do great work and Reily is far outside the comedy realm he is known for and also does great work. Of course, the movie has one of the few (if not the only) topless scenes Aniston has ever done, but it is definitely not gratuitous as the movie does not focus on sexual content. So, if you are looking for a good drama that is definitely not cookie-cutter, this is a good one to check out.

C'est un film à part dans sa filmographie et peut-être mon préféré.
この作品は一見地味ですが、ジェニファーの存在感が際立っています。普通の主婦を演じていますが、見終わってからジワーッと何か心に語りかけてきます。日常の中で光るジェニファーの別の魅力が感じられる、大人のための映画です。フレンズと同じのりでは、決して見ないでください。
