.were laughable in my view. Her husband looked like he wanted to grab her b00b but seem to force his hand away. Purely comical. The scene could have been really passionate but i guess they probably wanted no nudity, which killed it.
Same for the seduction scene near the end. She should have taken that top off, not just the bra under it. The guy looked totally confused about what she was upto and there was no effort put in by her.

She had issues, and the director seemed intent on continually focussing on them, rather than the somewhat sidelined "main" thread of the missing kids.

The only comparable example i can think of is 'Dont Look Now'. In both films, the underlying cause is child loss. In Dont look Now, the Director managed to make it a tender and intimate experience for the Parents. In this, none of that happened; the frantic attempt that looks idotic to me.
