Worth watching (star)(star)(star)
“Winslet and Wilson are excellent as the parents who, over a sultry summer, drift into a supportive friendship and ignite a blazing affair. But the strength of his film is in its understanding that its many characters are part of a community. If one dives into the local pool, everyone feels the splash.”
