Film ThreatMatthew PassantinoNov 5, 2018
In a Relationship doesn’t break any new ground and Boyd understands that. Instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel, he focuses on his character’s flaws and insecurities offering biting one-liners and honest moments that elevate In a Relationship to a bit above the norm. Read full review

If Boyd’s perspective is limited, his focus is sharp. Read full review

The two couples in this film are so annoying that I did not just want them to break up with each other; I wanted to find a way to break up with the movie, or perhaps scrape it off my shoe. Read full review
