In Dublin, two couples (Jim and Danielle; Yvonne and Chris) are seemingly living in marital bliss. However, when Chris's behaviour begins to change, Yvonne seeks solace in the arms of Jim, and before long they are in the midst of an affair. When a life-changing secret is later revealed, all four are forced to re-evaluate their lives, their marriages, and their friendships - but can anything be salvaged from the wreckage?

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
ottavio-corsini Could someone explain why Jim does not want to be with Yvvonne?
bryangary65 Very good drama about something that could happen to any couple.It's thought provoking and a good film to watch with your partner. Murphy was on good form but film was dominated by the performance of Catherine Walker as the tortured YvonneIn a supporting role Lydia McGuinness was also very good
dino2727 Well what the Critics watched is beyond me..this Drama really hit home leaving lasting effects, I felt quite sad at the end..and that last song 'in the room' which you can't download anywherd, is the annoying part as it's fantastic.. The actors were perfect and great story line..and j agree with the other review I would imagine an affair to be like this. Not stopped thinking about it and watched it 3 times now..that should give you a clue how good it is..I just wish you could get that last song gutted
Bertaut Treats well the topic of middle-class malaise and ennui, the film deftly shifts the audience's sympathy multiple times throughout. Writer/director Mark O'Rowe misses a great opportunity for a really powerful dénouement, however, letting the narrative drag on for 10 minutes too long. Still though, it's well acted, and extremely realistic, attaining an almost documentarian objectivity at times. Well worth checking out. 7/10
