MacDowell is struggling in a crappy marriage to a misogynistic caricature.  Spader is the mirror that MacDowell needed.  Once she saw her life reflected back at her, her life was never the same. 

Winner at Sundance of the Audience award, this is the one that makes you think.

Enjoy. 

And the feminism on a woman's role in a highly sexualized male world will appeal to all ages.  Are we to be tramps or pillars of salt?  Or should we strive to regain our humanity, get in touch with our sexuality and strive for relationships that satisfy us on more than a monetary level?
