Review

neat and simple idea for a movie. it’s about two married people who decide to meet every year in the same place and have a weekend affair. the movie follows them every 5-6 years and we get to see how they change and how their relationship evolves. it’s a pretty good film with a lot of dialogue and character study. both actors do a really good job with the material. however, the first two minutes (which feature some johnny mathis song) and the last two minutes (which feature an ill-advised ending) are kinda crap. everything in between is solid.
