Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Before long the movie -- as neatly constructed as it is -- isn't really behaving like a movie, but more like life, as it's lived by a fractious pair of empty nesters who find themselves at a crossroads.

rotten:
Once the characters start explaining the sources of their unhappiness, the drama becomes less compelling, largely because their problems seem far from insurmountable.

By its ambiguous yet hopeful end, we're at one with Nick and Meg: Sometimes, you just have to dance. Somehow, you go on.

[It] lacks a solid plot or even much structure -- yet it works beautifully.

Not exactly a breezy getaway, the film visits the sites, and drops down on rougher terrain, too.
