FAIR PLAY, A Joyfully Dark Tale

Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominee, FAIR PLAY is a dark, acidic dive into the murky world of sexism in the workplace, relationship power dynamics and the negative feedback loop between the two. Edgy yet highly polished, the film is an incisive, sexy and provocative psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. 

Phoebe Dynevor, Alden Ehrenreich and Eddie Marsan all deliver solid performances, and writer/director Chloe Domont crowns herself as a solid writer, her so script whittled down to its psychological core that it could easily function as a stage play. 

All in all Fair Play is a great watch, guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Considering it’s Chloe Domont’s first feature film, it’s an outstanding achievement. She’s definitely a writer/director to watch!

Note: This week I decided that there’s no place for bad reviews in this blog. My intention here is simply to make a collection films and series I’ve enjoyed watching, and share a few thoughts about them. ’Ben’s Recommends’, so to speak.
