sharmerchbryn Gemma Arterton's performance was wonderful in this film. She summed up her feelings and thoughts perfectly and even triggered my own feelings in regards to depression. It was very moving and difficult to watch at times. Slow burned to create feelings of tension building up inside her.
badz1337 Never been more disgusted by any choice of any character in any movie and ive seen tons!I cant believe that any mom, no matter how much is she fed of her daily routine would leave like that!That is seriously f'ed up. They can divorce , they could get a nanny and she could do something that makes her happy , but her decision is sick wrong by any means and that is the 1st movie that made me feel super super annoyed and angry :(
WVfilmfem I related to this woman's role, as I lived it, but unlike the character in the film, I, and most other women, don't have the financial freedom to make such a choice. What we see in the film is pretty much a typical marriage with small children. The wife is unhappy and unfulfilled. The husband is pretty much oblivious to her emotional needs, while expecting sex on demand. The other aspect of this story is the abandonment of one's children. One could also argue that paired with that impossible decision is the fact that she has a comfortable home, a faithful husband who is a good provider. Many women stay just for the security. One could surmise the woman is just being selfish, not willing to make the marriage work. One could also argue she is very brave, but are the sacrifices worth it? The film doesn't make this clear in the end.
jacklynebetty I have never watched anything this well directed for this type of context. Yes its about the 'typical' problems inherent in marriage but that's a very small part of it. For me, this film isn't just about that, it's more about, without generalising, how the character, the woman, the mother, the stay at home housewife, the dedicated family being, had to find herself again. What stands out throughout the film was that she was very much aware that she had lost something, that something wasn't right. You could see that from the very beginning. And what it comes down to is: Is it time to leave? (As opposed to: can I leave?) What I believe should be the focus of principle here is that while there are various externalities that result in the making of a being as it is, marriage and it's societal demands of its participants have remain unchanged for a while. And In this film, Gemma was indeed tired of being the unappreciated housewife and sex doll of sorts. That's not a pleasant experience for anyone, I can imagine.And so I rated this film a 10/10. The close ups are too real...nothing felt like acting to me while watching the film. It's real. It's real for someone.
