Being a recent widow I could relate in so many ways. I think Julianne Moore, in particular, did a beautiful job portraying some of the feelings and angst a woman can experience. Fragility, longing, aging, work, grown children and so on. Without giving away any of the story, the love scenes were quite sensual and delicious despite the kick behind it. John Turtorro played his role quite well too. Great job to all involved in this one!!!
