She soon uncovers a steamy romance between the wife of a wealthy businessman (Woodley), and a financial journalist (Turner) assigned to cover her husband.

While it didn’t impress critics upon its release, the romance drama is still highly recommended by viewers. It earned a solid 79% rating from Rotten Tomatoes audiences, while reviewers only awarded it a 55% score.
Sharing their verdict, one person said: “I never lost interest in the plot. The costumes and scenery were gorgeous. And I cried at the end. What more could you want? It’s a love story.”
