Critics' Reviews

Wilde hems them all into this apartment, jamming them in some sort of psychological trial, where resentments, frustrations, fears and desires bubble up, boil over and get thrown in faces. It’s a tonal tightrope, keeping things tense and often upsetting while never forgetting that it’s a comedy — there are lots of LOLs. Here and there it is a little overcooked, the dialogue working a little too hard, and it can be zanier than necessary. Regardless, there’s a real naturalism to the back and forths, the dynamic between everybody working wonders, with much overlapping dialogue and seemingly improvised ripostes. And, vicious as it is, the light finds its way in. The film wants the best for all four of them.
