Review of Married Life (2008) by Mark A — 01 Apr 2009
A twisted tale of love, and all of its wants, needs, and desires. Just another typical love-pentangle. Harry (Chris Cooper) is married to Pat (Patricia Clarkson) who secretly loves John (David Wenham).
Richard (Pierce Brosnan) falls in love with Kay (Rachel McAdams) who loves Harry. Harry wants out of his marriage in order to live blissfully with Kay, but he doesn't want Pat to suffer. She wants out so that she can be with the one she truly loves, but knows that Harry would be lost without her.
Richard is the only one who knows what all of the characters are up to and uses that knowledge to his advantage. A morality tale of sorts, in which everyone winds up with a certain degreee of happiness, just not the eternal bliss they had hoped for.
McAdams radiates, Clarkson clings, Cooper vascilates, and Brosnan swoops in for the kill. The cast worked well together and made the story believable. A quite charming way to pass the time with this one.
