Recap

The movie follows the one year anniversary of a couple. They explore the first year together and the ups and downs involved. As the night unfolds, they start planning what they want next from their relationship or whether they want to keep it going for longer.

Best Parts

The idea this feels like a single take is fantastic to watch. We get wonderful performances from the two stars, who keep us engaged throughout the night. Elsewhere, the location feels natural too. Where it shines the most is exploring an adult relationship without needing to be overdramatic about the outcome.

Worst Parts

Where this is going to be a purely a conversation, it doesn’t have enough impact moments. While this does help keep it feeling more normal, it lacks that spark to raise the tension between the two.

Final Thoughts –The Jazz Club thrives off a nature relationship conversation.
