    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      In the bathroom scene, Marie's bath water is clear in the first few shots, but is later seen to be cloudy without her obviously adding anything to it.
    • Quotes

      [Marie walks into the room with a knife]

      Malcolm: Marie, what are you doing? Put the knife down, please. Marie?

      [she kneels down in front of him and plays with the knife]

      Marie: Do you remember those antidepressants I was on? I'm not on them anymore. I'm not doing well. I'm really, really not doing well. I've never been clean. And I don't plan on getting clean. I'm a piece of shit. I'm a liar. I cheated on you. I fucked your friends

      [she laughs]

      Marie: I fucked your friends. God, I feel like I'm crazy. I've stolen from your mother. And you know what the fucked up thing is? I don't even care. I don't mind. Because I deserve it. Tell me where the fucking pills are. Tell me where the pills are.

      [Malcolm struggles to answer, Marie puts the knife down and acts like herself again]

      Marie: And that, Malcolm, is what authenticity buys you.

      [she flips him off with both hands as she leaves the room]

      Malcolm: Well, damn! Why didn't you do that in the audition?

    7/10
    An ambitious examination of the complexities of relationships
    To my surprise, this was a very compelling film that featured captivating and powerful performances mixed with brilliant writing. The shifting balance between the two characters keeps us on edge the entire time and we're never quite sure where it's taking us next. It's definitely a daring film to make and I'm sure it will split audiences by a large margin. It's not very easy to digest and I believe it would be better suited for the stage than the screen. However, it's a bold and confident move from the director to make this kind of film, especially in this day and age of cinema, even though it doesn't entirely work to the level of his ambition.
