Our take
Olivia Wilde's MA 15+ anti-marriage comedy follows a strained couple whose dinner with enigmatic upstairs neighbours spirals into explicit talk about swinging, group sex and open relationships. Very strong language runs throughout the dinner-party dialogue, and adults drink and smoke marijuana together. Physical violence stays minimal. Heated marital fights, anxiety talk and cancer-death references may still unsettle sensitive viewers. Mature older teens and adults only.
Uplifting themes
Whether the film satirises or romanticises open relationships is debatable. Any honesty-in-marriage messaging is mixed with cynical comedy
Story (may spoil tone)
Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?
