    Go beyond your limits to find them
    Successful professional couple have it all but the cracks soon appear. Is paranoia sometimes justified & where do they stand when the dust settles?

    Top shelf scripting, performances, direction, & cinematography.

    A minor criticism is the subtle humour present in the first two thirds of the film but seemingly absent towards the end.
