“The Lovers” was written and directed by Azalia Jacobs and stars Debra Winger and Tracy Letts in this film about marital infidelity and how the acts of each spouse impact upon the other. This is a film with characters who have no depth and superficially occupy the screen in their trysts and cheating adventures but never really come to terms with who they are and what transpired between them in the years prior to their extra curricular activities. I found the writing to be lacking and since the writer and director were one and the same person, the valuable and objective 3d party input and good judgment that might have been available just wasn’t there. More fitting as a short story instead of a full length feature film, I give the movie 2 and ½ stars with the return of Ms. Winger in any vehicle worth the price of admission.
