Unmasking the illusory excess of the 1980s, Sean Durkin’s psychologically askew chamber piece is a decadent treat with a poisonous core, boasting standout performances from Jude Law and Carrie Coon. The superbly biting repartee makes this a must-see addition to the pantheon of toxic movie marriages.

Looking at unhappy lives with patient tenderness, this absorbing drama acknowledges the strength of people who cannot see it for themselves. In finely tuned performances, Jack Reynor and Toni Collette chart a mother and son’s crooked path from despair to transformative hope.
