CGiii Comment

The selfishness of coming out in later life - the heartbreak experienced by the wife, the confusion of the children.

The intelligence is in the writing - the strength in the acting - the direction is almost superfluous.

Complex on many levels - it will make you think.

Thoroughly recommended.
