  • Laura Linney is seen lying in bed with her lover and as she rolls over to face him, her left breast is briefly seen.
  • Antonio Banderas is pictured in a still photo nude, as he's holding a towel covering his private parts (although female actresses in this film are not affirmed the same privacy). This is seen several times throughout the movie.
  • A couple scenes where couples (including one infidelity situation) kiss tenderly and passionately, sometimes in bed. Nothing else is shown. No actual sex scenes.
  • The basic plot is about Laura Linney's character cheating on her husband, as seen in still photos and flashbacks.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A man stalks another man and shows up at his apartment, pretending to be a friend. He then picks up a hammer when the other man's back is turned. He walks slowly and ominously, obviously planning to kill the man. He decides not to go through with it.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Laura Linney's character dies of cancer. She is last seen lying in bed, eyes closed but mouth open struggling to breathe. She does one last shallow wheeze and is still. Her husband and daughter are beside her holding her hands and begin to weep as they realize she has passed. This scene is extremely realistic and might be hard to watch for some viewers.
