It says a lot to proclaim Annette Bening’s portrayal of a woman in denial about her failing marriage in as one of the very best of her career. Yet it most definitely is. Sporting a nifty English accent, the four-time Oscar nominee hits new notes of authenticity and power as Grace, a wife of 29 years who is surprised and devastated when her husband suddenly says he wants out.
For his part, Jamie finds it not only hard to deal with the breakup of his family, but also the effect it has on his own relationships. Nicholson, perhaps channeling his own life, makes Jamie the centerpiece of all of this as brittle truths are uncovered and his parents head for divorce. It is a hard fact of life to take, but ultimately the drama unfolds in a way that feels like real life.
I cannot say enough for what this superb trio of actors brings to these roles. It all feels so intimate that it could be a play, but Nicholson in choosing the town of Seaford makes the setting singularly cinematic. Bening gets right to the core of Grace, a woman with spirit who refuses to accept what her husband is doing and almost desperately tries to turn it around, even with the sad fact her marriage may not have ever been what she believed it was.
