Brilliant portrayal of the human condition

This is not the best film you will ever see but it may possibly be the best portrayal of a love-less marriage and the finding of real love you may ever see on screen. Someone in amongst the writers, Director etc has experience the emotions on show here and the cast bring them to life in a very easy, simple way. Bening is truly wonderful in her performance, I actually felt hate for her character. How she missed an award is beyond me. I felt the response by Angela at the end perfectly summed up the whole situation. Worth a watch this one

Goofs
There is a jar of Marmite (a savoury spread popular in the UK) on a shelf in the kitchen. It alternates between two orientations: it is side-on when Bill Nighy is in close-up but when Annette Bening is also in view the back of the jar is turned to the camera.

Quotes
Grace: Tell him, Edward.
Edward: Tell him what?
Grace: That God exists.
Edward: You can't tell people a thing like that. God is not information. God's a conviction. It's like love. You don't tell love, you feel love.
