movie review - The Story of Us

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1999.11.03

Another good job by both of the leads in this one. It's about a couple that breaks up inexorably over years of child rearing, career juggling, and personality differences. Then one day in a parking lot they make up.

What's good about this flick is the exacting detail of the relationship between the married couple. I've had all of these encounters with my former fiancée; there didn't seem to be any mis-steps.

Recommended.
