VIBE

This film feels like a tightly wound, darkly comedic social pressure cooker. Expect a blend of uncomfortable laughter and mounting dread as a dinner party spirals into moral quandaries. It's a cynical look at relationships and the lengths people go to protect their secrets, all wrapped in a sharp, British wit.
