Married Life (2007)

.
Keeping Secrets

Harry Allen (Chris Cooper) seems to be the perfect 1940s husband. He's apparently devoted to his wife Pat (Patricia Clarkson). But Harry has a secret. When he has dinner with his best friend Richard Langley (Pierce Brosnan), Harry 'fesses up to being involved in an affair with Kay Nesbitt (Rachel McAdams). When the voluptuous Kay joins Harry and Richard for dinner, Richard becomes quite smitten with her, too.

Wanting to spare Pat the embarrassment and onus of divorce, Harry decides he must kill her. But Richard knows a secret about Pat, too.

David Wenham also has an important role.

Co-written and directed by Ira Sachs.

Run time: 1 hour, 31 minutes

Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and a scene of sexuality.

My personal rating: B
