A fiery debut feature from Chloe Domont explores the gender dynamics of newly engaged couple, Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich). Both working for the same cutthroat financial firm have kept their passionate romance under wraps. But when their firm promotes Emily ahead of Luke, their lives and relationship begin to destruct.
Dynevor sets the screen on fire and is a name I will watch for in future projects. Ehrenreich is excellent as well, and their chemistry together is remarkable. When office romance turns to psychological thriller, some aspects of Luke’s extremely fragile male ego stretch believability. The finale comes together for a satisfying conclusion.
