After watching this flick I kept trying to figure out its message ... because it came across to me as a message type story. Well I came up with many messages. The main message being - "family first" - maybe?
The script is first class, the acting is just fine, the music, sets, editing is wonderful. But at movies end you feel a bit lost. The only weak point in the story is when Jake tells his sister about her husbands secret, it seemed a bit forced and contrived. The argument just doesn't hold up to support Jake spilling the beans!
And what about Justine's job? That issue just fades away when Jake moves back into the city for his new job. There just isn't enough foundation on each character to hold the story together.
Jake and Justine are victims of loosing something that they held dear in their lives. Plus Jake looses out professionally and Justine looses her image of her husband. And at end it just doesn't come together. But it's not a bad movie.
