Fresh off of her Best Actress win, Natalie Portman will draw audiences to this film, but most will probably feel slightly disappointed after watching it. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just not that accessible to a general audience.The story is a sad one: Natalie falls in love with a married man; he gets divorced and the two marry. He has a son, and the couple produce a daughter. Sadly the daughter dies, leaving the couple devastated, but slowly she begins to find peace in building a relationship with her stepson. Yup, it’s heavy and quite obviously wrought with sentimentality and emotion, which is too much to handle at times. If you’re keen, prepare yourself.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
