Austin Chronicle

There are questions of trust, identity, spousal abuse, deception, differing expectations, and emotional incompleteness, all contained within a narrative that creates a terrifying-- and all too recognizable -- world.

Ready Steady Cut

Couples are studied to understand why couples change. Does the central couple change, or did they simply not know each other as well as they thought? Intriguing film, but doesn't quite answer its own question, and nor is it clear about its key theme.

Rated: 3/5

The Honeymoon Phase never rose above being a bargain bin Black Mirror.

Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam

As the premise is quite intriguing, I could forgive it, to some extent, its pacing, but the final act pulls the plug on credibility with an ending that raises more questions than the plot deserves.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

two great performances, a smart sci-fi script, and a few dark twists you might not see coming.

This one was good. Interesting and entertaining with a good storyline. The only critique I would give is the ending but def worth the watch.

3 out of 5 stars. The Honeymoon Phase is a fair science fiction thriller film. About a newly wed couple going into an experiment trial. As the company observes how the couple are reacting towards each other for a month. They are given a house. Food. Furniture and supplies. Until the wife starts questioning if her husband is lying to her. Interesting concept and plot. Could have been so much more. The script does fall apart by the time it reaches its third act. The writer feels like they ran out of ideas on where to go. When the twist is revealed which is surprising. But it falls so quick that it ruined the whole movie. Especially the ending. The cast did decent with there performances. The direction was okay. The script and ending kind of wasted a good idea to having an uninspired shocking ending.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
