Two employees of an investment firm (Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich) are secretly in a relationship, and then she receives a promotion that they both assumed he would get, with serious repercussions for their personal lives. That's the simple but incredibly effective premise of this intense relationship psychothriller. Of course, everything stands or falls on the chemistry between Dynevor and Ehrenreich, which is truly excellent. The couple starts off in a fairly harmonious place, but then a certain tension slowly builds until it finally escalates completely. Themes such as toxic masculinity, sexism in the workplace, and the dark side of the financial world are dealt with quite pointedly. However, as the story progresses, the characters' actions become increasingly implausible, dampening my enthusiasm. The film also lost its way in the final third. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty decent debut for director Chloe Domont.
