A couple of great actors and a film that was well-made, but it was irritating to me that its narrative was so dominated by the male point of view. Meryl Streep disappears for about half of the movie and we're told about her character's perspective, but it just doesn't compare to everything we see happening with Dustin Hoffman, whose character juggles a demanding job, single parenting, and dating, and comes out looking like a saint by the time the film's done. Both come to self-realizations of sorts and own up to their shortcomings I guess, but overall, I felt more bias than authenticity in the script. I disliked the weakness in Streep's character, felt the film was manipulative/melodramatic in pushing all those emotional buttons, and hated the ending.
