Telling one story from two different points of view is a fascinating concept I fell in love with after watching the first season of the tv show _The Affair_. It is interesting to see the differences in dialogue, facial expressions, surroundings or even wardrobe depending on which character's memory is being shown - the truth of it all probably lingering somewhere in the middle.

This movie is said combined (and therefore a bit fragmented) story of Eleanor (**Jessica Chastain**) and Conor (**James McAvoy**) after they lost their child. Even though I really liked it, I hope I can watch the _Him_ and _Her_ versions of this story as well some day to see where the memories of these two characters differ and overlap.

**Some random thoughts:**
- One rating point extra for the use of "Wild Is The Wind" by **Cat Power**
- Now I want to cut my hair short again!
- If my last name was Rigby I probably would name my daughter Eleanor as well.
