In this story of suburban married angst set in suburban Toronto, Michelle Williams is very good as the wife of a man more interested in writing his chicken recipe cookbook than attending to her emotional and sexual needs. One can see their marriage crumbling before one's eyes; and the relatively slow pace in which she transfers herself to another man adds to the verisimilitude. Some of the individual scenes of community life seem a bit contrived, in order to vary the pace, but the film is still well worth watching. ( )
