Very psychologically rich movie
The story shows how sick a love can be and in which strange ways it can be expressed. Both husband and wife have a strong bond to each other and at the end of the movie the prove of this strong bond appears to be stronger than the audience thought. Would you kill for your love ? Would you love more your partner if he was ready to kill for you ? That's the question every lover could ask himself . How far would you go to keep your life partner for you ? The story seems absurd because who would stay with a cheating wife ? But later you understand that there's more than a husband and wife relationship between them. - cynthiauhrich - 25 March 2024
Credits roll and: "Huh? What did I Just Watch?"
Weird film. Weird couple. The acting is fine although the story is just such a bizarre portrait of a couple that is entangled in a super creepy dynamic. Is it open, or not? Does she WANT him to kill her lovers to prove his devotion? If their marriage is open, why is HE not allowed to humiliate her in front of their friends and neighbors--the way she does him? Wouldn't EVERYONE suspect him of the the death of her lovers? So many scenes of Ana undressed. Affleck stays clothed and seething the entire movie. The little girl is FANTASTIC. She's got an amazing future ahead of her. Overall, the storyline was interesting but leaves the viewer with too many questions. No idea how Affleck's character gets away with so many murders, given the fact that everyone is aware of this couple's creepy relationship. Must have a stupid police force. . . And how is it that the writer ends up at the gorge just when Affleck's character is there?
