Sleeping With Other People

Directed by Mike Nichols (2004)

Geez, this is not a fun movie. It is a well made one though! The acting is amazing, with performances that give you goosebumps or make you want to stop watching because it feels too real. Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Jude Law, and Natalie Portman come together to play essentially the only four characters in the movie, two couples with serious infidelity issues. Each of them plays their part perfectly, whether it is to elicit utter disgust or to downright fear. Just thinking about this movie as I'm writing it makes me sort of anxious, with certain scenes having so much tension it's dreadful. If you are going to watch this, which I do recommend, be prepared to be angry, confused, and sad - it is a wild ride.
