Review of We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004) by Adam A — 04 Apr 2009

A train wreck of a movie. You can see all these terrible things happening, but cannot divert your eyes. The things that worked most were the music, which was composed excellently, and the juxtaposition of dialogue and sound effects from someone watching a television over another scene entirely. Whatever is being said or heard really compliments what is being seen. For example, Jack is watching a western on the television with his kids and in the next scene Jack comes face to face with Hank after a bomb is dropped as the score and sound effects continue from the western. It works perfectly.

Besides some questionable acting choices from Ruffalo and Dern, this is a solid film that shows what can happen when friends sleep with other friends' spouses.
