State of the Union
This was masterful writing, whilst we had two actors on screen seemingly representing two characters, there was in actuality very little or no differentiation between them, this was in fact, a soliloquy for two (duiliquy), or if you like a "talking head" in the form of an Alan Bennett monologue.
There was one single stream of sparkling undifferentiated thought ruminating over trust, betrayal, relationships and the human condition, split equally between the two protagonists. It was all served up using the device of metaphors often instigated by a single simple incident.
The chemistry was palpable between the two leads it was endearingly delightful, and they emanated the half of a whole relationship throughout.
Of course this is aimed at a very sophisticated viewer, the concerns expressed were the anxieties of the metropolitan bourgeoisie.
Brilliant writing, brilliant acting, brilliant directing 10/10
