Kristoffer Borgli directs Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Alana Haim in this dark comedy where the perfect romance between too soon new to be weds is ruined when one reveals a disturbing confession from their youth.

Kristoffer Borgli directs high concept movies set in the zeitgeist like nobody else. Two of the biggest stars in Hollywood go for broke in something that is simultaneously awkward as fuck but also incredibly accessible. Moony, abrasive and glib often in a single moment. It is a sticky enough dilemma and compulsive enough execution that you want to revisit it straightaway. Shout out to co-editor Joshua Raymond Lee as the opening 15 of this is spellbinding fast work storytelling. And Alana Haim has cornered the market for rage filled Jewish hotties. Is she Gen Z’s Susie Essman?
