Powerful up-close view of the end of a tumultuous, contentious marriage. The couple have four daughters...all under twelve...and there lies the real story here. While the 'adults' wrangle the kids' lives and psyches are being torn apart.
Divorce is always messy, non-linear...but the consequences fall hardest on those with the least say, the least understanding, the ones the adults put off with vague generalities and non-answers to difficult questions.
This was an excellent film that left a strong impression on me thirty (egad!) years ago and did again this time. Nice use of a simple musical motif...Don't Blame Me...played in one-note piano figures.
