Lisa Cholodenko, a lesser known director has taken a simple What if?-scenario and made it into a 100 odd minutes of riveting family drama. But the movie reaches the level which it has reached thanks only to the stupendous performance by its lead artists. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore just shows us how its done and a small question arises, can the Oscar for the best performance – actress can be shared? (Havn’t seen Nataile Portman’s raved performance in ‘Black Swan’ yet though.) Mark Ruffalo plays his part exceptionally and the two kids Mia and Josh were mind-blowing as well.
The movie is slow especially in the middle portions which will surely make you yawn or even make you doze for few minutes but we all forget these petty things when Annette breaks down in the bedroom and Julianne tries hard to lie.
Watch it for Annette and Julianne
Stars - 3
