Scathing dissection of 80s yuppie disaffection is powered by a pair of brilliant performances from Law and Coon (Law hasn't been this good in years) and the beautifully hideous evocation of the worst of vulgar excess, 80s style. There's no great joy, ironic or otherwise, watching these selfish and callous people essentially self-destruct, but the actors at least make the journey semi-worthwhile.

This movie has exceptional performances but enduring an entire movie with a man pretend to be rich and spinning endless lies becomes tiresome. Jude Law and Carrie Coon were excellent. Also excellent music. The family is slowly disintegrating with dwindling finances and failing prospects, and it gets every more compounded by short sighted thinking. Living such a precarious life would drive people to desperation. Worth watching by ultimately depressing if not downright sad.

A simple yet powerful film. The characterization is a little archetypal, and a horse is a bit overburdened with on-the-nose symbolism, but otherwise it's an inescapably truthful tragedy, superbly directed and shot and well acted. In fact it's the first time I've ever seen Jude Law in a genuinely good movie - and I've seen a lot of him.

A marriage story of opportunists and narcissists clashing with reality and their kids being caught in the middle. The filmmaking is quite astonishing - calm, sinister, pointed, with rich and luscious photography. Overextended, but a stylistic triumph. And circumstances change people eventually, so there might be hope for this family in the end: they make the plotting, egotistical father sit down and take his lesson.

Uneasy like Durkin's MMMM, but for what reason? The film acts like it is chambering a dark secret but turns out its just a very obvious "THE AMERICAN DREAM IS A LIE". Grossly underdeveloped and overstylized.

Very good drama film with a particular tense atmosphere that makes it feel like it's on the edge of a thriller or even a horror. It tackles a topic that's worth exploring and, through the usually great Jude Law, comes across as necessary to do so. Although things get heightened towards the end, there's still a slight underwhelming feeling at its conclusion, like it ended at the two-and-a-half act mark.

Attractive filmmaking, graceful design, fine acting, but perhaps a little more superficial than it thinks it is? The paint-by-numbers metaphor of the horse is a good example. Any random Sopranos episode (also about a dysfunctional family; actually also with a similar role of the mother) uses metaphors in a more elegant way. The origin story of Jude Law's character's obsession with (faking) wealth is a bit too simple to be satisfying, but what do I know, maybe that's how it works.

Not really engrossing or inventive because we all know right from the start this is a yuppie drama about a white "rich" family melting down, but it serves as a good cautionary tale against that famous lie "fake it till you make it", specially when you already have 1kk on the bank and still manage to fail big time because of Reaganomics applied to Thatcherism, day trading and "risk as opportunity" and all this shit. In a way, we still live in that nasty 1980s world. Carrie Coon is a blast.

I'm a firm believer in bad and/or abrupt endings, but this one was a bit difficult to accept. That aside, the filming is exceptional and outweighs everything else. I wouldn't say that the film even has all that much to say, yet the way it's said makes up for it.

Powerful in its depiction of the doubling down approach of a gambler, the film also executes a mild horror tone well. The madness feels almost out of an Edgar Allen Poe story. The entire cast executes well.

An intimate, focused, tormented, fragile little drama. It's a tough watch, I am lukewarm on fully recommending it, and it doesn't have much of a rewatchability factor, but I respect the hell out of it.

There needs to be more dialogue between the husband and wife about their problems, especially at the end, when everything is seemingly fixed without communication. That's not realistic.
