Kate Winslet's character April and is not simply the attractive bored housewife she has a personality disorder called NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Upon realizing this it can be understood why Kate's character acted a little off. Nothing in the world could ever satisfy the emptiness the narcissist feels or make comprehendable their masterful manipulation and selfishness. They feel nothing and are unable to love only thriving on narcissistic supply. Which for the character April was not happening for her as a housewife and mother. Kate Winslet does a surperb performance really in creating the confusion of her behavior as even some of the audience is apparently confused. Leonardo's character Frank was the unknowing spouse of a wife with narcissism and their conflicts were the result of her mental illness and finally her death. I found this movie to be on target on this subject as it was never mentioned in any other review but I am curious how the book's/movie'swriter/director is familair with npd (although they left out the sex as an addiction and modified the abuse ) as they as well as Kate nailed this performance.
