I only came to this movie as I recently became a fan of Haley Bennett through other movies, particularly the re-make of The Magnificent Seven and Hillbilly Elergy.
I found it to be something of an improvised drama/documentary of three people who could certainly really exist.
Idris, (Sam Riley) appears to live in this hotel by the sea, with Marisa Abela, his girlfriend when out of the blue, his ex wife (Haley Bennett) turns up to stay. He has not seen her for ten years and the scene unfolds in an uncomfortable way for Abela, who quietly gets the hump over their previous relationship taking off again, as I'm sure probably happens to people.
I found the chemistry between Sam and Haley really fascinating and Marisa responding, very real. Very improvisational for the most part, it shows what good actors can do with a flimsy script. Kept me watching.
