This movie left me with a bad impression of the cellist. Must we know everything about an artist? Is nothing to remain private? She left her beautiful music behind for generations to enjoy. Now, her brother and sister, through the book and the movie, have shared with us what should have remained hidden. Jackie tells her sister that she wants to sleep with her husband, the sister actually agrees, and the husband allows himself to be talked into it. I don't buy the idea that she was is such emotional need that only a screw with her sister's husband could "help". The fact that she ended up with a particularly dibilitating form of MS is, of course, a tragedy. But etched in my mind as I listen to her recordings will always be the tragedy of this terrible threesome.
