2017, Movie, 1h 34min

This witty look at love, fidelity, and family stars Debra Winger and Tracy Letts as a long-married couple who, having lost their attraction to one another, are now each embroiled in increasingly serious extramarital affairs. On the brink of officially calling it quits, something unexpected happens: a spark between them suddenly reignites, leading them into an impulsive romance that forces them to navigate the complications of “cheating” on their respective lovers. A mixture of humor and powerful emotion beautifully acted by its leads, Azazel Jacobs’s middle-aged marriage story offers a uniquely honest take on modern relationships.

It’s a hell of a role for Winger, her first lead for more than 20 years, and it acts as not only a showcase for her considerable talents but a reminder why women of her age deserve more screen time and respect.

It’s a tour de farce, except that the issues at the heart of The Lovers are deadly serious.
