    A Warning to Parents

    I saw this film several months ago and found it vastly unsettling. A story of such infidelity between two couples that the very borders of marriage are blurred, peppered with harsh language and excessive drinking, I would strongly warn parents against allowing their children from viewing this until their late teens, if at all. However, to its credit, the acting is excellent, especially from the female leads, Laura Dern and Naomi Watts.
