I was surprised to see that this movie was being screened at only one theater in my region. When I arrived, it was not named on the electronic display board. I asked if I had made a mistake and was cheerfully told that it was being shown in theater no.12! I bought a ticket and sat alone, unsurprisingly, I guess.
I thought the movie was pretty good. It explores the complexity of feeling in relationships that have become stale and habituated - a common occurrence these days. It reminded me of a goofy version of Woody Allen's Hannah And Her Sisters. I thought the scene of Duchovny attending the sex addicts' therapy group for the first time was truly hilarious. Not often that I laugh out loud at the cinema. (Odd that the fox Mulder character enjoyed watching porn.) Sadly, I was disappointed by the ending, which just stretched the imagination too far, for me.
In these days of blockbuster-obsessed America though, it's great to see a small budget movie like this, even if I had to hunt it down.
