When a Man Loves a Woman

DramaRomance126 min

An airline pilot is forced to confront the damage inside his marriage when his wife’s alcoholism begins to threaten her life and their daughter’s safety. Andy Garcia is the husband trying to hold the family together, while Meg Ryan’s wife enters detox and exposes the habits, evasions, and enabling that have shaped their home. Framed around a long marriage under strain rather than a courtship, the film stays close to the day-to-day fallout of addiction as a couple faces what honesty might cost them.
