Seen it a while back the American Dream gone bad but with truth. I seen beyond the smoke screens. Look around you our world has gone crazy. Much like it is displayed in this movie. People are asleep usually they see only what they want to see or hear what they want to hear. But those who see the truth won't be asleep! Most people will focus on the characters but won't see beyond what's being said. Deep Thoughts belong to those whose minds go beyond this film.

Slightly less satisfying than love. Not 5 stars only because the story in book form is better. The characters-even the neighboring friends, have better backstory

Not a shallow movie. Brilliant & dramatic. What intrigued me the most was the showcasing of truth behind conformity in marriages & the wrongdoings of keeping up with appearances. It was a sad, but truth telling story. Different.
