Our take

Pose is an adult drama/thriller about a reclusive photographer, his ex-lover, an obsessive fan, and a muse trapped in a country manor. Dialogue is packed with f-words and sexual references, including talk of bad sex and casual hookups. Characters trade kill and shooting threats amid jealousy and betrayal. The plot warns not everyone survives the weekend. Strictly for mature adults, not teens

Story (may spoil tone)

Isolated in a grand country manor, a reclusive artist spends a passionate and paranoid weekend with his ex-lover, an obsessive fan, and a potential muse. Hoping to spark a new wave of artistic brilliance over the course of a few tumultuous days, filled with chaos and revelation not all of them will make it out alive.

Talk after watching

  • Thomas uses people for art and fame. Where is the line between inspiration and exploitation?
  • Obsession drives several characters this weekend. How can admiration turn dangerous?
