I found this watchable and the two leads both made for compelling scenes, but there was still something lacking for me. I can't quite put my finger on it. Strangely, my desire to find the missing piece in the film mirrors the desire for the two leads to discover what it is that is missing in their relationship; something that they once had, but then one day they wake up and realise they lost whatever it was, but don't know when.

The movie is loaded with imagery. I've rarely seen so much in one film, and I reckon if I watched it again I'd spot dozens more. I don't want to give out any spoilers so won't mention what or where in the movie, but suggest if you've not watched it yet, that you play I-Spy with the comparisons between the mis-en-scene and the state of their relationship on both an individual basis and as a couple. Hats off to the director for this as I found it worked very well and added a poignancy to the film that was portrayed without the use of language or deliberate action.
