It felt like after 40 mins the characters had nothing new to say and yet the movie lasted another hour. This was so badly written, rather than seeming like two people having a conversation it was just two people continually monologing towardsIt felt like after 40 mins the characters had nothing new to say and yet the movie lasted another hour. This was so badly written, rather than seeming like two people having a conversation it was just two people continually monologing towards each other. It seems like the writer of this film attempted to create smart characters and interesting dialogue while themselves being neither as intelligent or interesting as they think they are.… Expand

Trite garbage. This tries so hard to be a deep artistic character piece, but is as shallow as a ten dollar inflatable kiddie pool. Such incredibly poor writing. I actually feel bad for the writer, because this script makes it crystal clearTrite garbage. This tries so hard to be a deep artistic character piece, but is as shallow as a ten dollar inflatable kiddie pool. Such incredibly poor writing. I actually feel bad for the writer, because this script makes it crystal clear there is no authenticity or ability behind the gloss. That the writer/director relies on stylized camera work, pretty people, and cliche devices to hide a clear lack of talent to pull off a drama that doesn’t rely on the stylistic crutches Levinson has relied upon for past success. No substance here. Only a painful revelation of a lack of talent. I feel bad for anyone involved in this catastrophe. Camera work was alright.… Expand

Bland and boring giving audiences little to no reason to care about the troubles these people wrestle with. That said I love this as it was more effective than nyquil at curing my insomnia. 3.5 out of 10.

Watching this truly abysmal relationship drama is akin to witnessing a horrific traffic accident play out over the course of nearly two hours. As a self-important, self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing vehicle for writer-director Sam Levinson,Watching this truly abysmal relationship drama is akin to witnessing a horrific traffic accident play out over the course of nearly two hours. As a self-important, self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing vehicle for writer-director Sam Levinson, this 15-round knock-down, drag-out lover's quarrel with no referee grows tedious and exhausting quickly as the film's two protagonists spew buckets of bile at one another through myriad monologues delivered with flawless articulation and an artificial eloquence that defy believability. Though stylishly filmed in black and white with earnest performances and a fine (though occasionally all-too-obvious) soundtrack, the picture nevertheless rings inauthentic virtually from the outset with a narrative that becomes circular and characters who grow ever more reprehensible as the picture wears on. One can't help but wonder, "Why are these two people together?" And, as their bombastic and whiny arguing drones on and on, it probably wouldn't take much for the average moviegoer to yell "Shut the hell up!" at the screen. Without a doubt one of the most frustrating, annoying, tiresome and pretentious offerings I've seen in a long time.… Expand

This needs a trigger warning for anyone who has ever been around a narcissist. Malcolm is an abusive d-head. Gaslighting. Manipulating. Love bombing. Fake making. Marie takes it because she’s used to his abuse. I had to turn it off half wayThis needs a trigger warning for anyone who has ever been around a narcissist. Malcolm is an abusive d-head. Gaslighting. Manipulating. Love bombing. Fake making. Marie takes it because she’s used to his abuse. I had to turn it off half way through because I spent many nights like this. It’s a good portrayal of a narcissist having an argument. So if you watch this and see your life in it, just know, it’s time to leave.… Expand

Very pretentious wanting to structure a film through tantrums by the director embodied in a story without coherence or almost nonexistent. He wants us to avoid the gift of criticism simply to avoid criticism.
