Well done. Interesting portrait of patriarchal blue-collar family where Dad makes all the important decisions and Mom meekly follows along until her break-out transformation. But I couldn’t cheer for her because it seemed to me that she had helped to create the initial situation she was breaking out of. Yes, her husband was rather domineering and strove to keep her in the domestic box, but she had basically created that dynamic throughout their marriage. She gave no push-back until she exploded (which I guess is what often happens) but I felt sorry for her husband who seemed to be a good guy who really loved his wife and was simply following the guidelines, both societal and also the ones that his wife had tacitly agreed to throughout their marriage.
