Portrait of upper class grown ups

If you've enjoyed Polanski's "Carnage" here you'll find a similar stage performance with a little more comedy and uninhibited characters.

2 couples of friends unexpectedly spend a night talking about their lives (or rather arguing and hurting each other) as a consequence of an affair involving one of them. Despite 5-10% of the film is a little weak from a writing and/or acting perspective (which is fine given the intensity of the dialogue and the width of topics), the rest is quite enjoyable, interesting and realistic.

If you'd like to see your worst self in a mirror, and enjoy how bad, miserable or funny you would sound, give it a try. If you believe that your life is empty, inauthentic and it's too late to do anything about that, give it a try: you'll feel better. If you believe that your life is well ordered and goes on according to plan, avoid attempting to answer the questions that raise during the view: you'd likely ruin your peace of mind.

Good job.

Could have been a theatre

A very psychological movie interpreted by four great actors. The geniality is to concentrate the full movie in a room and make it interesting to watch. I personally loved it. I loved the humor. I loved the way the characters expressed their feelings and their weaknesses. I think it's a small masterpiece.

A few ingredients. A cat. A house mainly represented by a living room. A red fish.

I mean really there are no special effects but instead it is content rich and very entertaining. The story is about friendship, couple relationship and how it can relate. All but boring from the first minute. A must watch.
