If you've missed the moody brilliance of a story told with a stolen glance or a telling smile, this film is for you. Obviously bored by the tired scenarios of the recklessly rich, Unfaithful's filmmakers set their sights within the vulnerable heart of contemporary middle class America. Connie and Edward have attained complacency in their marriage, that place that lays beyond the restlessly selfish twenty something years, beyond the career-family oriented thirty something years, to that comfortable place of submissive acceptance of who they are and how it is. In this generally unshakeable territory, the American Dream still flourishes.
