sebastian andres o Cazzie David and Elisa Kalani direct and write this dramatic comedy about psychological abuse in relationships. They do so in a dark and ironic way—daring, yes, but perhaps not entirely successful. Starring Sofia Black-D'Ellia, Ray Nicholson, Jon Rudnitsky, and Cazzie David herself, it follows a disillusioned law student who plunges into what appears to be the true romantic relationship she hoped for. Things slowly change when they begin to discover the true personality behind her ideal man. The film is daring and poignant, perhaps its greatest strength. However, when it shifts to a deeper drama, it takes on greater force within what seemed to be just another romantic comedy. The decisions are risky and succeed in delivering something we weren't entirely expecting, but in trying to contain its own scale, its final decisions about what we'd been presented with end up leaving us somewhat uncomfortable. The point is understood, but perhaps as viewers, we're not entirely prepared for that sudden shift. In any case, this is a very well-directed and well-written film, which makes it easy to follow. Although we can't overlook the fact that it has flaws that weaken its power, the final result is ultimately quite pleasing. It's a film that relies heavily on its two leads, especially Sofia Black-D'Ellia, who fully embodies the nuances of her character and the anguish she occasionally experiences within. Ray Nicholson, meanwhile, proves he's the son of the great Jack, and talent runs in his veins, especially when it comes to a role like the one he delivers. An interesting offering that has some heartfelt moments and others that are somewhat forced, but all in all, it offers a decent film worth giving a chance. It's sharp and ironic, an interesting combination, in times when everything is perhaps more sensitive, but the film's journey to reveal the toxicity of relationships is appreciated. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Leeloo L This film was excruciating to sit through. I found myself fast-forwarding repeatedly, simply to get through it. While I understand the intent was to explore the insidious nature of manipulation and domestic abuse—perhaps portraying the dynamics of a narcissistic relationship—it came across more like a modern, exaggerated echo of Fatal Attraction, stripped of that film's quality and nuance. From the moment Finn launched into his first melodramatic breakdown, complete with hundreds of desperate messages, I wanted to flee in the opposite direction. The film attempts to illustrate the toxicity of their relationship, but in doing so, it reduces both characters to hollow caricatures. Is the message truly that she, too, is so emotionally bankrupt that her only counterpart could be a needy, erratic, suffocating wreck? None of the characters offer anything remotely redeeming. And that dinner scene—was it meant to be satire? Friends can certainly indulge in trivial conversation, but discussing designer beds for wild animals? It wasn’t just pretentious—it was absurdly stupid. If this is meant to reflect contemporary discourse among young adults, it's both disheartening and deeply unconvincing. In short, the film was not only poorly executed but painfully out of touch. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Morgan G. Extremely relatable movie. Narcissism doesn’t usually make it into movies in a relatable way a lot, but this one was completely realistic about what goes into a relationship like that. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Courtney S. Really portrays the accuracy of a narcissistic relationship. Please watch with caution if you have experienced narcissism as it can be triggering. However it is eye opening on what to look for if you haven’t. Overall great movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review kimberly s Worst ending ever. Was genuinely enjoying the depiction of emotional abuse - it was relatable and realistic. The build, for what seemed like the majority of the movie, came to an abrupt end. It was very disappointing and if that kind of thing doesn't make or break you're evening, then dive in.
