“Some roles are transformative.”
Drama
Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under the pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past.
VIBE
This film is a disquieting, darkly comedic slow-burn, unfolding with a voyeuristic gaze into uncomfortable truths. It feels tense and reflective, exploring the complex interplay of memory, performance, and power dynamics. A provocative, unsettling experience that lingers, perfect for a late-night solo watch.
