Permission

This is the reason I always get anxious during opening credits from small time productions or indie size studios.

The writer clearly couldn't decide on what creative choices to make early on, was it going to be another take on an open relationship or a gay drama.

Way too ambitious, didn't work. Cliche beats and fairly mundane dialogue.

There was no arc towards making their important relationship decision, it just happened out of nowhere.

The drama was telegraphed all the way after we're introduced to the cliche premise.

The moral tale doesn't have any redeeming qualities other than an open ended decision by the female co protagonist to free herself to continue the self discovery.

The baby scenes in the park magically appear like set pieces. Did he have to stalk the area until the Father and son showed up? This just added to the lack of believability. Are we really meant to believe a girl that has been with one man soon after is shagging strangers within 2mins of meeting them in quick succession?

If this was a college project I'd say it was a good start, but this film made it to subscription TV

This movie tries to ask tough questions but avoids having an actual discussion. The characters are just written too superficial. Rebecca hall and dan stevens are both great but we don't actually learn about them much and what actually leads to the end. Just a missed opportunity. Watch only if you are a huge fan of hall like me. Otherwise look elsewhere.

I was very disappointed with the climax of this movie, but kind of saw the ending coming

A film that is driven by a controversial premise, but the execution feels childish and amateur. It goes about the motion but does not provide a good enough plot to really examine the concept of monogamy. The emotions displayed by every single character feels off and superficial which creates a disconnect with the audience. The film provides an one dimensional, pessimistic look at relationships, but is not controversial enough to capture and enlighten viewers.

The plot is just too controversial. Doesn't make any sense. The woman is too messed up to know what she wants. Ugh! Complete waste of time! And on top of that it leaves you with a disgusting feeling in your mouth that love actually does not exist - it's all matter of interests.... 2 stars for the good actors, no more.
