Overview
- The A24 release, which opens Friday, drew first-wave reviews this week that label it a deliberately discomforting dark romantic comedy.
- Critics say the plot tracks an engaged couple whose pre-wedding confession derails their week, with the central reveal already leaking online and priming strong reactions.
- Zendaya and Robert Pattinson earn standout notices for layered, career-marking turns, with Alana Haim singled out as a scene-stealer and Mamoudou Athie praised as a steady counterweight.
- Reviewers highlight Kristoffer Borgli’s provocation-forward direction, Daniel Pemberton’s uneasy score, jarring edits, and a Boston setting, while warning the film will be divisive and may merit trigger warnings.
- Press materials and reviews list an R rating and a 1 hour 46 minute runtime, and coverage notes Borgli’s track record for provocation as the movie heads into an opening weekend likely to generate heavy post-screening debate.
