The Intervention

I think people get way too involved with negative feedback on this film. Take it with a pinch it's a lighthearted film, enjoyable, at some points funny, sad, very relatable. We can all relate to one of the characters/situation in the film and it's real. Good watch, would watch it again on a Sunday with a cup of tea

I was very interested in seeing Clea DuVall's directorial debut. For years I have only known her as an actress (a very capable one) so I wanted to see what her skills behind the camera, and behind the typewriter if I must say, were. I definitely think there are some contrivances here, flaws that continually stick out. The film is a bit disjointed at times and unsure of where it really wants to go, and yet it still never falls apart and is quite enjoyable. Although the screenplay is very flawed, it also shows a good amount of talent in its dialogue that makes me interested in what DuVall can create next. The reason it works so well is probably because of the very talented and dedicated cast. I do recommend it.

Loved it. Natasha and Melanie were hilarious as always and Clea is an outstanding director!

I've never written a review here but seeing this movie being compared to Big Chill, one of the finest movies about relationships ever, I couldn't help myself. I love these kind of movies but this is just bad filmmaking. Soulless, bad written characters and horrible story. Cannot believe that director is best friends with otherwise great Lynskey, cause she's given her one of the the worst roles of her life.

The film tells the story of four couples getting together for a weekend break in a fantastic summer house, but with an ulterior motive.

The story begins quite slowly, and nothing much happens as the scene is being set. However, once the real story gets moving, the events happen quickly. The second half of the story is thought provoking and engaging. I enjoyed it overall.
