[Possible spoiler] I realy enjoyed this film. There was something very real about the film, about how you can love one person yet long for another.

There are no likable characters at all in this movie, none at all. All of them are scumbags and they all just hurt one another. With that being, it's an excellent film, Mike Nichols does an excellent job. The performances are all good, and Julia Roberts steps out or her romantic comedy films, and into real acting, and she does a great job, it's unlike anything else she has ever done. This is a great film, and one of my person favorites. 10/10.
