🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a devastating portrait of marital resilience, relying on brutal, performative humor as its primary language. It explores the terrifying intimacy of shared grief and the private codes couples invent to endure the unendurable.
What lingers after the final frame is not the shock of the jokes, but the haunting silence they fail to fill—a raw testament to love in its most desperate guise. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Peter Medak

For a contemplative evening, prepared to sit with discomfort and profound ambiguity.
