"OK. The internet has crashed on me twice while I was working on this review. So please forgive any spelling or other errors as I am going crazy trying to get this posted.

He is made a saint of sorts instead. Fanny and Alexander has that cruel husband as well. There are lots of them in film. Once were warriorsEd Norton is almost grateful for the opportunity to be cold, not cruel. He makes her feel like her life has no value and her situation is completely desperate. It's a pretty f'ed up situation. But I enjoyed it well enough. I think it was well acted. I like Naomi Watts because there is something broken about her appearance. She seems already shattered somehow and I'm intrigued to find out what's the matter with her. That made the opening of this film seem a bit of a stretch. I di ... "
