- The first listed pick is the windstorm pickup: the Frenchman hits on Connie, gets her up to the apartment, and once she goes upstairs it is over; there is a wish that a wife would have declined and found a cab.
- Connie's post-affair train ride, with the flashbacks and her expressions, is called a good one and number one.
- The lunch with her two friends is liked as one of the best-written scenes, feeling like friends catching up while she has just had sex in the bathroom; the sequence is called peak Adrian Lyne, like an international-coffee commercial with sex in the middle.
- Edward killing the French guy with the snow globe is another enjoyed scene.
- Connie confronting Edward after finding the snow globe back in their house is picked, including his lines that he knew from the first day and wanted to kill her, not him.
- The last half hour is called pretty good and the ambiguous ending is liked.
- Edward's visit to Paul's SoHo apartment is walked through: a wide shot of him outside, Connie running out, and a bizarre interaction in which Paul is a dick, calls his life pedestrian and says the snow globe was a gift, leaving the killing half-justified.
- Objection: Diane Lane would never have given her lover a gift from her husband that can be traced back to her; this is flagged for picking nits.
