Watch The Good Wife For Free

Strong and Moving!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

****SPOILERS*****At one point the wife very emphatically states that she wants a baby. The couple must have been married for quite a while at that point and that he had been unable to impregnate her. I think that the husband agreeing to let his backward brother to have sex with the wife was perhaps a desperate hope of giving her a baby. But the brother is a premature ejaculator. Disappointment is written in the expression on the wife's face as she urges "Wait! Wait!" Maybe with the near rape by the barman, she saw a vital man who could possibly provide her with a baby. Women who want babies have been known to do some pretty crazy things. There are many psychological disparities about the movie, but if you consider the urge to reproduce as the primary motivation of the wife, it may answer a lot of questions. Very good performances by all. I love being dropped into a time and place totally unlike anything I've ever known and being asked to believe it. All the costuming, environment, and supporting cast helped me to do just that.

What a heart-rendering plot! Throughout the movie, I kept wondering if there was the faintest chance that any close-knit community under the stars harbored secrets similar to the plot...Both brothers scruples, Marge's sexual appetite and the manner in which the town takes everything in step...It is sickeningly-refreshing to see this small town's women enjoy their sexuality as much as they do...To think all it takes is one male catalyst (Sam Neill's character, Neville) to turn women loose! Every guy's fantasy role...How am I to imagine the emotional toll this movie shoot took both on Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown (married to each other)?...Wow!

Although it has been quite some time since I have seen this film, I recall it being very intense, realistic, and well-acted. Rachel Ward in one of her best roles. Provocative subject matter, great setting/backdrop. Just a really good picture, NOT to be confused with a chick-flick. Even the husband truly enjoyed it.

I saw the second half of this movie on cable starting from the point where Sam Neil came into town. Then the next day i caught the second half again. The story and the truth it brought to me was captivating. It brought many things to my mind. besides that it reminded me of many things it was all very atractivly shot with beutifull powerfull actors/actresses.i noticed there is only one comment in 3 years about this film and feeling so strongly about it i worte this. I have noticed many have though nothing of this film. though it fake or a physcolical atempt at "showing us something" "being something" but i belive these peoples life expereance has not agreed with the content and for that reason they do not like it. It has seemed very real to me. Although the style of acting in many ways is more like stage acting and carried more by the writers ideas then by the "relisim" of the actors themselvs. But what true ideas the writer has shown us!
