Review of Close Quarters

I felt the ending did not match the rest of the film. He lost his wife, His marriage, In fact he lost his family, And entire way of being. But the film ends with him seemingly focussing on only the unborn baby.

There was so much focussing on the husband loosing ground to his wife and the hired surrogant that the film became way to one sided.

There was not enough time focussed on there daily lives. All we kept getting was her moving closer to one person the surrogant with very little effort by him attracting it. There was very little dialog between them about the baby, life or future.

The husbands parts with wife were hard to watch as he was spiraling, It was hard to watch her treatment of not caring or undestanding/being interested in his hopes and joys of being a father.

I did like how the writer/director did the male competition thing as the surrogant used size and brute to push his rival out of the way.

The wife was never developed enough for us, Actually the marriage before the baby issues. Her needs were vaguely written and so were her motives.

I recommend the film if your a thinker and like to fill in the blanks.... It's not a sunday morning film nor a uplifting one.

We knew the surrogant had issues but this too was not understandbly explored. I wanted to know how this effected there future.
