Soderbergh's look at a sexually repressed woman's(Macdowell) life whose husband(Gallagher) is having an affair with her sister(San Giacomo), and the situation is further disrupted when a visitor(Spader) with a perverted fetish hits town. Soderbergh's early film is not has high-budget and edited flashily as his other pictures, but its effective in telling its story and was pretty interesting throughout. The performances were pretty good, spader was decent as was Gallagher but San Giacomo and MacDowell were pretty good. I heard a lot of hype about spader's performance but he wasn't extraordinary here. I liked this film, but at times it seemed a bit contrived and the characters actions were a bit out of sync with the rest of the film. --- IMDb Rating: 7.0, my rating: 8/10
