We Don’t Live Here Anymore

Adapted from two short stories by Andre Dubus (whose work was also the inspiration for IN THE BEDROOM), this unflinching domestic drama is a fearlessly raw, morally complex exploration of infidelity and its effects built around a quartet of powerhouse performances from Laura Dern, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Watts, and Peter Krause. They play two closely entwined married couples living in a peaceful college town whose lives are upended by a domino effect of mutually destructive extramarital affairs, the consequences of which director John Curran traces with unsparing human honesty.
