"The Other Woman", directed by Don Roos, is an overall satisfying and turbulent drama set in New York City regarding well-to-do families and inter-relationships as well as extra-marital consequences. At the conclusion, my wife and I agreed that we had some pretty heavy disdain for Portman's character (Emelia) who immorally ignored the fact that the man she was attracted to was married going after him or allowing him anyway. The hypocrisy that the script finally goes over a bit when relating to her own father cheating was a good angle to explore. None of this is really though the focus of the movie but more theatrics. Easily what makes this movie very good is the wonderful relationship that blossoms out between Emelia and stepson William with all it's friction. The ending scene is outstanding and helps you look past other clichés and short-comings.
