When a Man Loves a Woman (1994)

Synopsis: A pilot is married to a schoolteacher. When she develops an alcohol addiction, her family life starts to deteriorate.
Appraisal: This drama deals with heavy issues that hardly any film dares to tackle, and, although it does it mostly with intelligence, it can't help embellishing it, the way Hollywood usually does. The ending seemed especially forced. That being said, it is still an overall rewarding experience. The players deserve compliments for their convincing performances and the director, for eliciting them.
Rating: 60
