Tuesday, After Christmas (Radu Muntean, 2010)

8.5/10
This movie takes a very basic plot - a man cheating on his wife with a young woman, namely his daughter's dentist - and turns it into something great. Proof you don't need a blindingly original story to make a good movie, I suppose. Everything is really well acted, and the direction is impressive and surehanded. The lengthy, unbroken shot of the husband's revelation to his wife is a masterpiece, and the ending is both beautiful and saddening.
