Sobering Raw Reality of Spiraling Sadness

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2020)

(Flash Review)
If you want to see pure acting front and center with cuts long enough to let actors dive deep, then this fits the bill. Early in the film you see a husband and a wife sitting with a marriage counselor lightly trying to save their marriage amicably. Following that there is no surprise for guessing the trend the film will take. The path the story takes smashes any facade the characters have built and drives to the core of their internal feelings and feelings for each other. It is sobering to watch the couple's relationship escalate in negative intensity. The raw acting takes center stage due to smart yet non-flashy cinematography. This doubles as a PSA for not hiring lawyers for divorce cases as they are portrayed as vile scum. Those seeking acting should not miss this.
