[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked it. My spouse is kind of a gaslighter in a similar way to Jude Law. I've kind of resigned myself (like his wife). I liked how she called him on his BS, got on with things, but there was still love in the family. I completely did not understand the horse though...did he did up the horse to get some evidence to get his paltry 5K back (with complete disregard to his wife's feeligs?). Did an animal dig up the horse? Was it buried alive? Maybe I nodded off--but I missed the explanation part if there was one.[/quote]

It wasn’t well explained. My take was that he dug up the horse to have it tested to try to get his money back, hen just tossed it basically on top of the dirt without properly reburying it.

Which leads me to my dislike of the ending, because she seemed so devastated by his treatment of the horse, and the kids seemed so shocked by it, that it was inexplicable to me that they’d all welcome him into their breakfast so calmly and the movie would end on that note. [/quote]

Yeah, that was my take too. But I wonder if it was the dramatic climax of the awfulness, and there was some kind of realization on everyone's part at breakfast that things had to change and they would make it happen? Or were they all going to sally forth doing the same old? He had that hsyterical gulping laugh when he proposed ANOTHER job opportunity and she gave him her signature look--I thought that might have shown some self-awareness? that and the taxi drivers lecture and almost losing the kids to a wild house party and the deparvity of digging up the horse...[/quote]
