    This compelling dissection of a marriage gone bad offers superb acting and sublime directing. Viewers who don´t like it obviously are dead in the brain and between their legs.

    Very well made, with the fascinating power of a slow-motion car crash, telling a difficult story that does not flinch from showing complex, difficult aspects of its characters. Effective, naturalistic acting across the board, most notably that of Bruni-Tedeschi.

    Bruni-Tedeschi is a lovely actress, and whatever emotion is evident onscreen comes courtesy of her.

    In 5 x 2, the 2 are terrific; it's the 5 that needs work.

    The film is bleak, not particularly compelling, and the characters are frustrating, the enemies of their own happiness.
