      Irene M I saw this *after* seeing the third in the triology, and so seeing the echos of the future movie reminded me of the trial, and how I preferred the order, so that I saw the third movie from the same vantage point as the divorce judges. Of course, hard to watch without having memories of my own childhood, Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Claustrophobic marriage indeed. I'm sure glad I'm not her.
