Set at the end of the 1940s, the film looks wonderful and has some nice performances, especially from Cooper and Patricia Clarkson playing his wife. McAdams also acquits herself admirably, but Brosnan's under-written character never really convinces. ... Full Review

In the end, Married Life demanded a shorter, simpler conclusion to its narrative; the alternate endings amount to coda after coda. But I think that's something that film language can do very well. but in all other respects the cast is perfect ... Full Review
