With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for music lovers and anyone who's survived a family wedding. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Cabaret or Grease Live? This is a good next one. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 3 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
On their wedding night, the newlywed bride confesses to her husband that she does not love him, but is actually in love with another man. This devastating admission drives her husband into a furious, savage heartbreak. Following their immediate separation, both individuals spiral downward into their own emotional depths, grappling with heartbreak, infidelity, and the toxic lifestyle of high society. Eventually, after enduring significant personal despair and a long period apart, they cross paths again to find true peace, forgiveness, and serenity in each other's arms.
