| When A Man Loves A Woman (1994) explores the complex issue of alcoholism, its effect on family, and co-dependency. Alice Green (Meg Ryan) is a school counselor, a mother of two young girls (Tina Majorino and Mae Whitman), and the wife of pilot Michael Green (Andy Garcia). When Alice’s secret addiction to alcohol escalates out of control, threatening her health and the safety of her girls, she enters rehab to regain control of her life. While undergoing treatment, Alice begins to learn more about her self and the past that led up to her addictive behavior. Alice also begins to recognize Michael’s role in enabling her alcoholic behavior. Following rehab, Alice and Michael’s relationship deteriorates. Eventually they separate as Alice continues her struggle to overcome her addiction and to regain her daughters’ trust. Michael moves out. As Alice’s one year anniversary of sobriety approaches, Michael breaks the news that he has been offered a promotion and is moving to a new city. With their marriage hanging in the balance, both Alice and Michael must come to grips with their failures in the relationship. They learn that only honesty, communication and love can fix what has been broken. |
