OP

[(Anonymous)]

The problem I have is that, by all accounts, Katherine's husband is wonderful to her and nothing about Ralph Fiennes' character really stands out and makes me understand why she would throw all that away, nor what is so special about her that Ralph Fiennes is willing to inject so much drama in his life.

If, for example, he had been shown to be lonely or she had been unhappy in her relationship or we saw them connect on some fundamental level that her husband didn't understand (for example, in terms of a shared passion or deeply-held belief) then it would make sense to me. But we don't.

And that, on its own, isn't a HUGE deal if the romance is ancillary. But it's such a huge part of the story and forms such a huge part of their characters/motivations that it makes the entire movie plodding and unbelievable.

A real life romance might very well be inexplicable, but I'm not being asked to invest in it.
