Upsetting and bleak; a meditative exercise in ice cream, marital infidelity, DisneyWorld, statutory rape, and the Khmer Rouge. Go to Full Review

George M Aug 10, 2018 too disjointed. Individual performances are often well done. Baker, as usually, conveys a great deal of emotion during the hard dramatic scenes. But characters behavior is not understandable or clear. It like reading a book that is missing pages. And seriously, at the end, the wife seems crazy. And the husband broken for life. Almost sorry I watched. Do not recommend except for hardcore fans of the actors who just want to see everything they have done. See more
