    Another HBO Original success

    Excellent performances by Jessica Lange and Tom Wilkinson. The screenplay affirms the truth of the adage..."the things we do for love". And it distinguishes love and passion, delineating how each strengthens the other.

    The writer/director eschews cliches, demonstrating how small events can sometimes tell a story more powerfully than moments of high drama,

    I enjoyed it more on second viewing than first.
