You set it up that you have to instant message, you have to e-mail and keep your cell phone on endlessly. I'm not saying don't do those things. Properly used, they are wonderful.

Williams is especially remarkable as Ennis’s wife, a character who is both angry at her husband’s infidelity and sympathetic for the trap he’s in.
