Given the circumstances of a pandemic, this movie in my mind will be one for ages. This is a reality many American couples face within a relationship. The differences in which pulled them together can also pull them apart. It also showcases a reality of possible mental health issues. The instability in the relationship and personal lack of self assurance from Marieโs point of view is a true element that rears in the conversation. Meanwhile from Malcolmโs view his over-indulgent, over-confident personality leaves him with the tendency to want to be better at every moment in any topic and the eagerness to win meaningless battles.
As stated in the trailer it isnโt a โlove storyโ.
It seems to be a reflection of todayโs modern relationships. The battle for appreciation on one side and the battle for admiration on the other.
