Wonderful performances - all dead-on, especially McDormand's, and great depiction of the milieu. But I could see the entire plot coming an hour away, and it just didn't grab me. Yes OK, uptight people explore letting their inhibitions go ... sure, that can make a great movie. I can absolutely see Beckinsdale's character doing that, but not that way in that setting. 6/10.
