An unappealing triangle (although I like Samantha Morton in some other roles, like Sophia in the 1997 miniseries of Tom Jones), uninterestingly shot.  Liv Ullmann directed, and adapted the Strindberg play.

I didn't exactly like this movie but I thought it was interesting enough, in its protagonist and its setting, to watch until the end.  I believe Rosamund Pike gave the best performance, as the long-suffering wife.  Laurence Dunmore directed.

I found this story too downbeat to go beyond the first quarter hour, although I can see why it got praise and awards.  Jim Sheridan directed and co-wrote with his daughters Naomi and Kirsten.
