Netflix has released the first trailer for a super intense film titled Fair Play. I watched this movie at Sundance earlier this year and it’s seriously a great film! The movie stars Alden Ehrenreich (Solo, Hail Caesar!), and Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), who both give incredible performances.
They play a young couple who are madly in love and engaged, but their relationship is pushed to the brink when one of them gets an unexpected promotion at the cutthroat hedge fund that they work for. As you might imagine, jealousy pushes things to the insane extreme.
The synopsis reads: “Hot off the heels of their new engagement, thriving New York couple Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) can’t get enough of each other. When a coveted promotion at a cutthroat financial firm arises, supportive exchanges between the lovers begin to sour into something more sinister. As the power dynamics irrevocably shift in their relationship, Luke and Emily must face the true price of success and the unnerving limits of ambition.”
Corrin shared in her review of the film: “I absolutely loved the dynamic that evolves between Emily and Luke. It’s very similar to films like Basic Instinct and Disclosure, but with a more contemporary angle that questions what masculinity really means in this age of feminism and equality in the workplace.
“Fair Play could have easily come off as overly serious and preachy, but the voyeuristic focus on Emily and Luke’s relationship is extremely entertaining and easy to watch. It’s dramatic, absurd, and at times violent. This is definitely not one you’ll want to miss!”
The film was directed by Chloe Domont and it also stars Eddie Marsan, Rich Sommer, Sebastian De Souza, Sia Alipour, and Brandon Bassir.
