Lila thought that she and edgar (talia balsam and scott cohen) had the perfect life living in the country. When lila learns that edgar's other girlfriend is having a baby by him, her world is turned upside down. Takes things to the extreme. But they still like each other. Kind of. Great chemistry between lila and edgar, in spite of what has occurred between them. In spite of edgar's weaknesses. Female nudity in the sauna. It's a little spacey... ethereal. Lots of woodsy, nature scenes. Sadly, no locations listed yet. It's an interesting story. On the roku streaming channel. Written and directed by hilary brougher. This has the feel of being someone's actual story. Talia balsam is the daughter of marty balsam; he was in so many huge films. Talia was married to clooney and john slattery. Interesting hollywood backstory. I liked it. Good stuff.

weird but good.
There's Magic Here, But Ignore It
There were hints of what this could have been, instead it was disappointing, they didn't pull on any of the threads of potential. I love a movie that can make magic of the mundane, can perfectly demonstrate the beautiful tragedies & joys of the average human experience and relationships. This was the it, this was just dull.
Relatable, raw, perfection
I loved everything about this film. My partner and I stopped it 1/2 dozen times to discuss what was happening and relate it to our own views on marriage and fidelity. I'm in shock at the lack of audience and discussion about it. Not sure how long it's been available to stream but I really hope it gets the attention it deserves. I feel like it was written about me. I knew what the main character was going through. Breaks ups are torturous- the resentment, anger, jealousy, and back and forth attempts at acceptance and grace are so relatable. I've been there in all of the significant relationships I've had. The acting and directing was superb. So much was said and felt even when there was little dialogue. I loved the vibe and setting. There is very little to be critical about.
