I really enjoyed this movie. As a matter of fact, it is the first movie I immediately watched again (DVD) since the 1970s (theater). As noted elsewhere, this is a refreshing departure from the standard special effects vehicles. It captures the mood and pace of the 1960s nicely. The alternate perspectives of the two main characters worked well, and the development of the characters is adroitly done.
I actually did not recognize Penelope Ann Miller and Rebecca DeMornay until the end credits. This may be because I had not seen either actor in a movie for some years, but also probably equally due to their makeup and clothing. Their portrayal of 1960s housewives was very effective. Overall, visually, this movie does a great job of putting the viewer into the 1960s. Not sure how effective this would be for someone who did not experience the 1960s.
Highly recommended.
