Edward and Clover's marriage.
Sorry in advance, this probably seems like a real guy thing to obsess over, but I seriously got the impression that Edward and Clover got married, and then never actually got to spend the night together (as in sexual intercourse). Obviously they did it the night they met, which is how she got pregnant, but did he EVER get to sleep with his wife in the entire time they were married?
If not, then it seems they're painting him as a sexually frustrated bureaucrat, possibly acting out of resentment. Overall, it was just a very slow, very disturbing movie, but not for the reasons I thought it would be.
I'm so ugly...that's ok 'cause so are you.
