Magpie
Ben & Anette’s (Daisy Ridley) young daughter, Matilda, lands a starring role along side of a popular & glamorous movie star, Alicia. Ben chaperones Matilda to the film sets, while Anette stays home to care for their fussy newborn. Ben soon finds himself attracted to the flirty Alicia. However, when Anette suspects that Ben may be infatuated with Alicia & possibly been unfaithful, she seeks out evidence of any secrets & lies that her husband may be harboring. We watch the disintegration of their marriage as the tension builds with each romantic text message that flashes across the phone screens. The surprise conclusion happens after the film shoots are finally over. Will Ben & Alicia’s relationship be finally over now? Will Ben & Annette finally get to patch up their waning relationship? Is there divorce in the picture? I️ was completely caught off guard with this film. I may have to rewatch this film.
Alien gives it 3½ “Hell has no fury like a woman scorned” stars out of 4.
