the puzzle of love

Agnes (Kelly Macdonald) is a religious stay-at-home suburban mother of two teenage boys, Gabe and Ziggy. She lives a quiet life with no personal outside interests. She receives a jigsaw puzzle for her birthday and finds that she's good at it. She takes the train to NYC to buy more puzzles and signs up with puzzle partner Robert (Irrfan Khan). Her secret life as a puzzler drives a wedge in her marriage.

This is an adult movie about a marriage relationship. Kelly Macdonald has this gear to play a docile character although her marriage needs more setup. Her husband needs to be more overbearing at the beginning so that her fling has a base upon which to build on. Without that, her early lie seems odd and unnecessary. He needs to show some jealousy and possessiveness so that it makes sense for her to hide a new activity with another man. That's beside the odd puzzle concept and her need to go into the city to buy some. Don't they have a Walmart near their home? At its core, there is a compelling human struggle to find one's self and to be understood by love ones.

A bit slow and drab

Agnes is a mother who has put herself second to her husband and her two late teen sons. Given a jigsaw puzzle as a birthday present, she discovers she has a talent for jigsaws and, on a whim, answers an advert from a man advertising for a partner for competitive puzzling. Her experience opens her eyes, and she begins to start living for herself rather than others.

I went into this film knowing absolutely nothing about it,. The "mystery tour" experience is always interesting if not always satisfying, and that was the case here.

The performances were all good, with Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan as the unlikely puzzle partners who forge an unexpected connection, and David Denman as the husband who is utterly perplexed at what his happening to the wife who has been so predictable for so long, and suddenly isn't.

The story is a little unusual in its detail - not so much in its theme - and nicely played. And the conclusion of the film, if not the story, was pleasing.

But it was a little too drawn out and leisurely in the telling for my taste, with an air of drabness.

Life is a forever changing puzzle.

Puzzle is lacking a little in content, but engrossing nevertheless.

Upon recently starting my new 3000 piece puzzle, I took a gander at some films on the subject for inspiration and found this piece. It's over the top initially, Agnes serving the ungrateful swine in what turns out to be her own party. The husband who doesn't deserve any better. I never lost a moments interest though, even though we don't actually see a whole lot. It's well acted by all involved, Macdonald in particular.
