Viewing Notes

Trapped in a loveless marriage, Therese Rquin seeks solace in the arms of an attentive lover. But her quest for happiness may lead to tragedy. I’d like to start that the cast is well picked for the film. I loved everyone in their roles and I completely believed the affair between Oscar Isaac and Elizabeth Olsen, and Tom Felton does a great job as the sickly husband. Jessica Lange, like pretty much everything I’ve seen her in just dominates every scene she’s in. I liked the first half of the film but it kind of fall apart a bit and drags when gears shift into tragedy. Its believable, it just didn’t keep my attention like the first half of the film.
