About
You may enjoy this if you like dark, talky relationship dramas with moral gray areas and a slow-burn edge, like Intolerable Cruelty; Not for you if you want fast thrills, clear heroes, or a consistently upbeat tone.
Pros: strong cast; sharp dark humor; stylish period setting | Cons: slow pacing; thin character depth; ending feels rushed
