I’ll tell you straight off, I would see anything Sam Worthington is in. Period. The guy is genius, good-looking, has an accent, and I think has the breadth to tackle any role. The same can be said for Keira Knightley, though I’m not as devoted a fan of hers as I am of Worthington’s.
He’s been pegged as an action movie guy (Avatar, Terminator: Salvation, Clash of the Titans) and she’s pegged as a period piece actress (Anna Karenina, The Duchess, Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, A Dangerous Method, etc.), so seeing them in a contemporary drama, an indie drama no less, is a little different.
The story focuses on the two of them as a married couple, Michael and Joanna, living in New York. They are both presented with opportunities to be unfaithful to each other, and they both experience those situations differently. I won’t give away what happens, because that’s not the point.
Keira Knightley is beautiful and brilliant as Joanna. When she reconnects with an old flame, the question is how committed is she to her marriage.
Sam Worthington’s character Michael is faced with the possible affections of a sexy and perhaps a little too forward coworker. He seems resolute, he seems committed, and yet, the smallest reactions in his speech and his expression hint at whether he is really going to be a good boy or not.

So much of this film is told through actions and expressions, stolen glances, shy smiles, blushes–there is not that much dialogue in it at all. That to me is indie filmmaking, and drama in any form, at its best. As expressive and intelligent and creative and beautiful as dialogue is–I should know, I’ve studied it and have been perfecting my style for a long time–a line of dialogue falls short sometimes.
In some cases, the look on a person’s face as they watch the love of their life walk away for perhaps the last time says more than a monologue ever could. The expression a person has when they discover, through simple observation, that their loved one has been unfaithful to them, can tell more about their feelings than an impassioned argument might.
It’s not a romance, nor a romantic comedy. It leaves you with more questions than answers. And that is just as it should be for a story like this. Based on how intimately you get to know Michael and Joanna throughout the film, you form your own conclusions about how their story plays out in the end.
