We Can't Have Everything

In a labyrinthine exploration of marital disillusionment, 'We Can't Have Everything' meticulously dissects the intricate dissolution of a union where both partners find themselves ensnared by external affections. The narrative unfurls with an almost surgical precision, revealing a couple, ostensibly bound by matrimony, yet each clandestinely drawn to another's allure. Their initial, seemingly straightforward endeavor to disentangle themselves from their marital vows, predicated on a mutual desire for new romantic horizons, rapidly devolves into a Gordian knot of escalating complications. Each attempt to sever a connection, to unpick a single thread of their shared past, paradoxically spawns a multiplicity of unforeseen entanglements, transforming a supposed path to liberation into a bewildering maze. The film portrays an agonizing dance of liberation and re-ensnarement, where the pursuit of individual happiness inadvertently weaves a more complex tapestry of obligation, societal expectation, and emotional paradox, ultimately questioning the very possibility of achieving 'everything' when 'everything' means fracturing an established world.
