Day-to-day in the office Romy has the power as the boss but with Samuel, he's in control and Romy likes it. The affair runs around in circles at certain points in the story, overstaying its welcome a little bit. By the halfway point we understand the dynamics of Romy and Samuel's relationship and it continues on, almost beating a horse to death until the finale. The story is as much about infidelity as it is lack of communication. I sympathize with Jacob because he's a trustworthy partner but instead of Romy confiding in him, she retreats into this affair with a man about half her age because like so many cheaters say, "it was fun" or "I liked the sense of danger and getting caught." Not the most moral tale for the holidays but again, had this been tightened up a little bit, I could have enjoyed it more. 6.5/10






Saw it with my wife. We kinda liked it, but there was a big problem with it—Kidman felt way too old for that role. She is just not aging well. Charlize Theron would've been the perfect casting choice for that character

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
