A wealthy woman from Manhattan's Upper East Side struggles to deal with her new identity and her sexuality after her husband of 16 years leaves her for a younger woman.

Maybe I live in the wrong era, but this film struck me as so bizarre. I can understand going through a shocking transition when divorce comes at you out of nowhere. That part of the film was handled very well, even if a bit over the top.

What I did not understand was the film's obsession with sex. At one point the woman comments that she had not had sex in seven weeks and thought her world was falling apart. Some of the happiest couples go years... if you are measuring your happiness in sexual encounters, I do not think you fully understand what it means to love someone.

score 6/10
