I saw this as a companion to 'In the Company of Men' and because i ahem have (or had) a thing for Julia Stiles. Not much to say, because not much happens; the whole film could have been 15 minutes of a better movie. Some of the dialogue between the two women leads is the worst case of 'hey look, it's an actor reading from a sheet' i can remember seeing since drama classes in school (owch). As always in these situations it's hard to say how much is the script's fault - but either way the audience is getting the short end. The actors (i use the term for both sexes - geddit, it's a film about... n/m) look awkward, like they didn't know where to stand - weak direction maybe? Either way, this was even more unsatisfying (and unrealistic of course) to me than 'In the Company of Men'. Perhaps gender issues just bore me, so i wasn't the target audience... still, beware!
If i can refer to other users' comments - i'm baffled by the references to great acting and great script.. i watched the film before reading any reviews, and noticed serious problems in the acting and in the script, repetition of cliche phrases (referring to drink as poison, 'f**k off' etc.)
Stiles is quite good at crying though. Yeah, it should have been a play, which would also have had the bonus that i wouldn't have seen it :p
