Movie Haiku:Seering study of people who marry when they shouldn''t & then spend years pretending everything is OK. Realities of modern marriage stripped bare, with intense, tragic, fully dimensional performances from Gosling & Williams (& one of the most honest scenes ever filmed in an abortion clinic). More teens should probably see this film, but for now... ADULTS ONLY!
