Starring Chris Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, Pierce Brosnan and Rachel McAdams, the period piece follows an adulterous man who is convinced the only way out of his marriage is to kill his wife. All the actors receive rave reviews and so does Sachs. </p> <p> &quot;...Sachs, who co-wrote the script with Owen Moverman, allows the story to unfold with cool precision. He does not batter viewers over the head. Married Life is not slow-paced, but neither does it rush, its tone flitting seamlessly from suspense to black comedy to straightforward drama.

Chris Cooper reinvents himself in every film; can this be the same actor from &quot;Adaptation&quot;? Here he seems so ... respectable. Rachel McAdams does a nice job of always seeming honest and sincere, even when she makes U-turns, but Patricia Clarkson, as always, has a few surprises behind that face that can be so bland, or scornful, or in between.

She's obviously very beautiful, but I don't think the beauty is what draws the attention, it's the stuff going on just beneath the surface that she is able to convey. &quot;</span> </p> <p> Read the <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=42681" target="_blank">full interview here. </a> </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:47:30 UTC http://www.movieset.com/married-life/news/9ptk3t/-Ira-Sachs-Examines-Married-Life http://www.movieset.com/married-life/news/facjjd/Married-Life-is-a-subversive-look-at-the-50s <p> Joe Neumaier has reviewed 'Married Life' for the New York Daily News.
