He was the main character. Of course more time is going to be spent on him. And of course we're going to see most of the movie from his perspective. It isn't until the film branches out to show what the wife and daughter are up to while he isn't there that we gain a little sympathy for them.

But from his perspective, yes, they are both pretty awful people.

Which is the point I'm pretty sure OP is completely missing. "OMG SHE WAS SUCH A SHREW" is because we're seeing 90% of the story through his eyes, and he's just as dysfunctional and shitty as she is.

he's an unreliable narrator. the movie's basically set up so that you have no choice but to agree with Spacey, which is shitty, because I don't think anyone involved in making the movie actually thought of him as an unreliable narrator.

I wouldn't call him an unreliable narrator. Telling a story from one characters' perspective doesn't make the character unreliable. Just the story. But that's not the point. It's a story about Spacey's mid-life crisis (or whatever you want to call it) so the perspectives of the other characters just aren't as important as the perspective of Spacey's character. It's his journey.

journey towards what?
