Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who's survived a family wedding and people who like stories that don't look away. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Shelve it next to Gone Girl or The Killing. It deals with hard things honestly.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.

  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

The marriage of the famous writer Alan and his young wife Lola is in a crisis. On a vacation in Haiti Lola wants to decide if their relationship still has a future...
