That man wasn’t happy enough destroying his own life, so he had to destroy the lives of two women who did nothing but truly love him
Such an interesting movie. It really shows that everything, I mean EVERYTHING, has consequences

wow, this surprised me, great performances from everyone specially simone, well deserved oscar. however the film’s greatest strength is its screenplay, dealing with major themes way ahead of their time with so many layers. pacing is off, everything’s so slow
