Never Forever (2007)

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/never_forever/about.php

Sophie seems to have an idyllic life; she's the perfect Caucasian housewife for Andrew, her successful Asian American husband. Their relationship is put to the test, though, when she can't conceive a child. To save her marriage, Sophie does something desperate. She initiates a bold and clandestine venture with Jihah, an illegal immigrant from Korea. Sophie soon finds this new arrangement spiraling into a situation that may actually destroy what it was meant to liberate.

In Never Forever, writer/director Gina Kim arranges every shot with a calculating eye, building a step-by-step urgency. Her story is rich and her filmmaking lean and precise. Kim creates the perfect tone, right down to a climate of extreme repression where the sexual energy is nearly combustible. The insightful art direction and costume design are marvelously refined for an independent film. And Vera Farmiga's incredible performance as Sophie is a true gift. Her ethereal beauty--crystal blue eyes and porcelain skin--gives her the appearance of a rare doll, which isn't too far from the pampered existence she represents. As the perfect counterpart to two gifted leading men, her mastery of Sophie's gradual transformation makes Never Forever an unforgettable cinematic experience. --© Sundance Film Festival

Has this movie been picked up by a US distributor? I've heard it's pretty good. If it doesn't get picked up that would discourage filmmakers in america from doing am/wf stories.

According to Netflix.com, the release date is unknown.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
True love will withstand ignorant eyes...

Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise...

I saw the full movie a while back. A pretty good movie.

Here it is free online. If you choose the Veoh (with the 5 min preview) you have to download VeohTV Beta player to watch the entire 2 parts online for free. Player is free too.

The second link I guess is new since I didn't see that when I originally watched it.

Anyway, check out the movie in it's entirety!

Reviews give this movie A-ratings for its originality and conflicts the wife must go through but they ignore the wife's glaringly obvious lack of common sense.

Why didn't she just go for a sperm donor?

I mean with artificial insemination, there's no strings attached. Nobody would be the wiser and it's guaranteed to be confidential. In the movie she's willing to pay the dude $30K if she gets pregnant. I don't know how much sperm donors cost, but it's probably a hell of a lot cheaper than $30K.

So those reviews should put an asterisk next to the A+ reviews.
review: *A+

* Suspension of disbelief required on the existence of artificial insemination

hehe am I right or are you wrong?

Lets just say that she wouldn't be the first irrational woman on earth.

Not that a lot of men are any better, really.

If the writer chose to go the logical route with this woman's desire to become pregnant making her husband believe it was his child, then we would not have conflict or an interesting story. Plus, she wouldn't get to have all that amazing sex with her lover that is seen in the film for the entertainment of us voyeurs. There would be no tragedy of her husband harming himself over the anonimity of a sperm donor, instead of the fact that she had to find a lover to stud her empty womb and then fall in love with him. Much more realistic for a film, don't you think?
