Good film in which a woman starts a relationship with her married boss. A fine family drama in which the interaction between the stepson and the stepmother is credibly portrayed and provides the most beautiful moments. Maybe a bit predictable or cliché here and there, but this is partly made up for by Natalie Portman. A narrow 3.5 stars.

Love and Other Impossible Pursuits
Fine. Love and Other Impossible Pursuits does revel in its own drama at times, and Lisa Kudrow really plays a terrible character. And not in a good way, because she feels like a caricature. But everything else is good, and Natalie Portman is fantastic as a woman who has to endure a lot (sometimes through her own fault), and Portman knows how to make Emilia a layered and powerful character. You sympathize with her, and especially her guilt for her deceased daughter is heartbreaking. Fortunately, there are also some light-hearted moments in the film, but this remains a straight drama.
