An intelligent and very well crafted movie that moves along, seemingly effortlessly. The main characters struggle to understand themselves and those around them and we similarly are drawn into the webs that are woven and torn apart. A fine achievement from Steven Soderbergh who must wonder if he will ever match the quality again. He is helped enormously with monumental performances particularly from James Spader and Andie MacDowel, although as I don't think I have seen either perform quite this well, their performances are likely down to dedicated work from the director. Laura San Giacomo also does a wicked turn and the naughty sister and helps to keep the film interesting in the early scenes when MacDowell's character seems set to sink the whole enterprise, or is that her psychiatrist? Perceptive, touching, intimate and revealing, this involving film is captivating and engaging throughout.
