*MUST SEE* I want to first give everyone that is a part of this movie amazing credit for taking part in making a movie like this during the 1970's. The bravery is unspeakable. Thank you! This movie is a beautiful depiction of divorce from all sides. You can even take on the perspective from the other side though it may differ from the standard response or your response in the moment. The movie also allowed me to look at several life events differently. Well done!

In 1979 failing marriages and divorce were still taboo. This film reflects a time when people began to realize that the institutions and traditions of the past were ridiculous and life is what it is.
