A middle-aged couple's marriage breaks down over one night of alcohol and confession.
Sinekatalog’s take
John Cassavetes's raw black-and-white drama of a marriage breaking down over one drunken night is painful and alive. Improvised and unvarnished, its performances are unforgettable and its honesty rare.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
