Puzzle

THE GIST: Agnes is a suburban mother or two whose family takes her largely for granted. Her husband loves her, but pays little attention to her. It seems like her life is just a succession of chores. One day, she picks up a jigsaw puzzle and discovers a new passion, one that will drastically change her life in ways she never even imagined.

Puzzle is a very simple movie that rests on the charms of its two protagonists, wonderfully played by Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan.

It is really heartwarming to see this woman, who longs for something more from life, not knowing what exactly, finally find a purpose that gives her joy.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The perfect movie to watch on a quiet night, curled up on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate.
