What’s perhaps most miraculous about this tight and taut film is Domont’s unforgiving economy. Read full review

The biggest strengths of the film are its sharp script and phenomenal lead actors, both of whom give committed performances which vacillate between ruthless pragmatism and explosive emotionality. Read full review

This is a lurid, cynical, nasty, rough piece of work, and I mean that in the best possible way. Read full review

What’s kind of impressive here is Fair Game does have a lot to say about gender dynamics in a “boy’s club” work environment, but it doesn’t get bogged down in that to the point we are watching a lecture. Like I said in the first sentence, this is a very entertaining movie. Read full review

Would you like a side of erotic revenge this evening? How about a nightcap of noir? If you have a taste for the savage, you might easily split the difference with Fair Play. Read full review

Fair Play was acquired by Netflix following a bidding war at Sundance. It’s a fitting home for Chloe Domont’s debut feature, which pivots around a star-making turn from Bridgerton’s Dynevor, with a keen line in eroticised gaslighting that will sit nicely beside three seasons of stalker soap, You. Brian McOmber’s angular score adds to the anxiety. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Sep 20, 2023

An oddly-dated, obvious and overwrought melodrama about gender roles and the toxic masculinity of Wall Street hedge funders, “Fair Play” is practically a parody of decades of women in the workplace romantic thrillers. Read full review
