Movie Haiku:Searing exploration of marital intimacy: the ways in which we build walls around ourselves, betray each other, & destroy our own opportunities for genuine connection. LaPaglia is terrific in the center, as a type A personality in the throes of a midlife crisis. The title refers to the thorny underbrush.
