I agree with several of the reviewers about this being not about lesbians and straights, but about middle age despair at the reality of an unfulfilled life. I watched it because I really like Robin Weigert, and she was the hidden jewel in this (and was nominated for awards for her performance). It also brings to mind Diary of a Mad Housewife, where Carrie Snodgress is in an abusive, loveless marriage to a New York lawyer clawing his way to the top and treating her like dirt. She was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe for best actress. But, check it out, and you will see the similarities, along with the obvious differences. This movie has lesbian sex scenes, but I did not find them salacious or gratuitous. They fit well in Abby's (Robin Weigert) character development, and are, in my opinion, just part of our human condition, gay or straight. I would have rated it a ten, but I was a little disappointed there wasn't a "Hallmark Movies" ending, but it is most assuredly a representation of a banal and trite existence endured by many.
