Duas Mulheres (2010)

I liked the premise of the story because I imagine many women who've been cheated on do have that irrational curiosity about the other woman. And what this film is good at is building up that anticipation. What will she find out? What will she do?

It keeps you engaged & guessing, but sadly disappoints you with a very anticlimactic third act. I was expecting a more explosive resolution, but all I got was ... that's it?

Never a good place for an audience to be.

I've seen both lead actresses in dramas before & they play quite convincingly against the type of roles I'm used to seeing them in. The main actress got a lot of work done and it's obvious. She was nevertheless able to inject (no pun intended) the right amount of emotion into her facial expressions.

Overall, I liked the story, and to some extent how it was executed, but I wanted a more satisfying climax after all that good build-up in the first and second acts.
