A woman with an absolute ar*e of a husband gets up the courage to escape despite any emotional/maternal feeling she has left for her children. I applaud her courage. No one should live in a life where they are emotionally and physically abused, a life that makes them constantly depressed and feel worthless. Too many people take abuse and never get out of that situation. Gemma Arterton is a goddess, even when she is (very realistically) portraying someone who hates all aspects of her situation. For those viewers who say she should stay in that situation, shame on you - enablers are almost as guilty as the abuser.
