Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

bjarias ..it's really a very worthwhile little film.. ..and she gets an opportunity to show .. just how good an actor she truly is....one of the best lines comes not from her.. ..and near the very end of the movie....change completely your life... ..but try to change it with him.. ..and if it doesn't work.. ..then change it without him

jeffreyharvey The movie is SO SLOW and boring. There are no sympathetic characters. I would have walked out but my wife wanted to see it. There wasn't even any gratuitous nudity to hold my interest. I've liked Gemma Arterton in the past in movies like Tamara Drew, but she was wasted in this movie. Don't waste your time.

minty100 I think EVERY mum feels like this at some point. I know I felt let there had to be more to me than just a mum. Life does get small, boring routine when you have a child(ten). It's just not everyone can afford to make a choice like that. A single mum can't just walk out on her life. Maybe change the title to "The Daydream of Escape" By the time she's in the park in Paris, I actually felt angry that she could be so selfish. All in all this film shows a woman who runs away in a fantasy, tries to forget who she was only to have a giant slap of reality across her face.

jacklynebetty I have never watched anything this well directed for this type of context. Yes its about the 'typical' problems inherent in marriage but that's a very small part of it. For me, this film isn't just about that, it's more about, without generalising, how the character, the woman, the mother, the stay at home housewife, the dedicated family being, had to find herself again. What stands out throughout the film was that she was very much aware that she had lost something, that something wasn't right. You could see that from the very beginning. And what it comes down to is: Is it time to leave? (As opposed to: can I leave?) What I believe should be the focus of principle here is that while there are various externalities that result in the making of a being as it is, marriage and it's societal demands of its participants have remain unchanged for a while. And In this film, Gemma was indeed tired of being the unappreciated housewife and sex doll of sorts. That's not a pleasant experience for anyone, I can imagine.And so I rated this film a 10/10. The close ups are too real...nothing felt like acting to me while watching the film. It's real. It's real for someone.
