Susan is living through an unfulfilling marriage when she receives a package containing a novel manuscript from her ex-husband, Edward. The novel is dedicated to her but its content is violent and devastating. Susan cannot help but reminisce over her past love story with the author. Increasingly she interprets the book as a tale of revenge, a tale that forces her to re-evaluate the choices that she has made, and reawakens a love that she feared was lost.
DVD, NTSC region 1, anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital 2.0.
Contents: Tony and Susan.

Way overrated submitted by GJBarnett2 on June 27, 2017, 3:31pm I used to think that I could watch Amy Adams read a phone book. I'm cured. I almost had to force myself to watch this. Incomprehensible and just plain awful.

Not "romantic" as in description submitted by LVDS on July 30, 2017, 4:37pm A bit confusing in the beginning....till you realized it's flipping between the "novel" story, her life & flashbacks when she met her 1st husband. Violent & disturbing images.

A Gripping and Chillingly Splendid Thriller submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 23, 2020, 9:43am Stars Amy Adams as an art dealer living in LA ... she is sent a manuscript for a novel by her ex-husband played in flashbacks by Jake Gyllenhaal. As she reads it, the events he portrayed on-screen ... it's about a man taking his wife and their daughter across the country in Texas, and they are ambushed by a group of rednecks and terrorized. Amy Adams is clearly moved by it in the present. You don't know whether it's some attempt at rapprochement by her ex or some kind of twisted act of revenge. Incredible performance by Amy Adams ... she's cold, intelligent, damaged, and thoroughly compelling.
