An engrossing story of the disintegration of a modern loveless marriage.

It's an entertaining satire that disappoints only in the stereotypically limited choices it offers to the woman.

Among the performers, Carrie Snodgress will surely receive the critical praise she deeply deserves.

What makes the movie work, however, is that it's played entirely from the housewife's point of view, and that the housewife is played brilliantly by Carrie Snodgress.
