This was a great movie! Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Luke's breakdown in the office had been yelling at my computer screen lol. "If I can't make you cry, then I'm going to make you bleed", this line sent chills up my spine. Great acting by the two lead characters!

I’m so happy she got away from him. The gaslighting and assault were designed to undermine her and take her power - it’s so fantastic to see her destroy him at the end, and show how weak and cowardly he is. She is so much smarter and better than him in every way. Her parents were also unbelievably awful.

I didn’t expect that from him because if a men or a women act like this it’s because he or she is weak, a bastard and a loser And people said that she’s not innocent because she goes out with her college she drinks and comes home late but it's because of him that she does this she doesn't have his attention like before and she wants him and he doesn't even look at her, in the film we are shown that she is lacking sex I know she is not I haven't slept with anyone else, I'm a woman I can hook you up a woman who is being satisfied elsewhere is not going to beg you for sex because she can find it elsewhere, people stop saying she's coming back, she drinks with her colleagues talking to her boss makes her guilt. if he paid attention to her she would have known how to impose limits but he acts like an asshole she is forced to collapse at work and there is a part where she invents food for him with she, he said no and she had to eat alone, before going to the club she suggests to him to go out he read and ignore the message, that's when she wants to go to the club. the role of the guy makes me sick and people continue to say that she is stupid 🤦🏻‍♀️on the whole line he is the stupid one, he does not know how to fight to prove that he is worth. no he behaved like a bastard and by begging, seriously he is brought to his knees and he says that his boss was his god but who does that 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeah I really don't understand people (and the director) who are try to justify stabbing someone and asking to beg for mercy. That shit is fucked up. Of course, he raped her and was a giant crazy asshole, but damn you don't just stab someone who is not threatening you. Feminism has really brainwashed some people. For some, it went from we want equality to we don't want to be held accountable. It was still a good movie, but the analysis of some people makes me sick. In reality, they both deserve to be in jail, him for rape and her for assault with a deadly weapon.

While I apparently took away a very different set of lessons from this film than the director intended I think that only stands as evidence in support of how well made this film was. I started watching with zero expectations and absolutely no preconceptions and I was absolutely hooked from the opening shot to the ending credits. The actors were pitch perfect, the direction was confident and the writing was superb.

Emily was being supportive of Luke throughout the whole film; even when she got the promotion she was still sticking to their original plan of moving up together and tried to help him by showcasing his talents to their boss. Luke was too jealous to see Emily was still trying to help. The last conversation Emily had with her boss was all she needed to realize that Luke was a weak man and a coward. Her whole attitude changed when she saw him cry out of weakness and whining like a child; there's nothing wrong when a man crys out of anger or frustration but, Luke was being a beeyotch for real and his girl saw him as pathetic instantly. Luke handled everything like a child instead of sticking to their original plan of elevating each other no matter who gets promoted first. They were both on same page in beginning. Emily was a "ride or die" from start to finish for Luke until he lost his shid.

My heart was fucking trembling when the conflict was at its peak and it’s because I was actually scared for her. I was scared of Luke. I could feel what it would be like to be in that situation and I was terrified. I felt so sick to my stomach to see how Luke’s character was unfolding and how little you could do to change the dynamic of your own relationship. The very end kind of pulled the curtain and it felt too on the nose, I would have preferred that she didn’t say her last line, “I’m done with you now”. It didn’t feel needed. Otherwise I was completely enraptured.

It wasn’t sudden it was the result of an event, it was also foreshadowed when they would have unsatisfying sex (Emily initiating it) if you analyze it a bit more you notice how each view intimacy… Luke thinks it’s a power dynamic but Emily is clueless that it was ever about power .Ofc in movies you don’t want everything so plateaued, you see he’s a boiling pot ready to burst… losing his job was the last straw as a result he does destructive things to guarantee he never gets his job back and destroy Emily in every way by ruining her reputation, sabotaging her job, and finally raping her ripping her of her dignity because to him that’s power

An earthquake is also plausible@@Killersushiofficial I mean, this was played out more like a Wall Street movie. I thought the main plot was built up around all the trading and dirty business which was getting really interesting and their boyfriend girlfriend drama was a subplot to it. I didn't see the rape scene coming and I thought it was out of place the way the script was developed. That's why I felt it was forced in the storyline.

What I got from this film was that TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE BAD. And basically the Toxicity comes from Jealousy and Gas-lighting. which are dangerous elements in a relationships. Neither of the characters are perfect (Which is why the Movie is perfect with its Realism) but its obvious it was his Jealousy and personal inferiority complex that drove them apart. He couldn't handle that She was doing better than him at the firm so he had to verbally abuse her by saying she was sleeping with the boss etc. Now the assault was weird and uncomfortable BUT I GET IT. It started out a Sex, but then Luke got violent by hurting Emily . It was about Power at that point. Hurting Emily, humiiating her. He was already doing it to Emily Verbally and emotionally. Now he was doing it physically. Ironically, it reminded me of an earlier scene when Emily tried to push Luke into having sex with her when he wasn't in the mood. That scene didn't end violently, but in a way, Luke was emasculated. Again, NEITHER LUKE OR EMILY ARE PERFECT. This is why the Story is so well written. Now as for the ending. I know some people would tell her to press charges. I would. But sadly, Sexual assault in a relationship is hard ot prove and there are no perfect victims. Shoudl she had cut him like that? I totally understood why she did that, but in the real world he could charge her with assault. Seriously he could. In the end. Wow what a film . Netflix is kicking it.

As a man, that movie was great 👏, in my opinion. The irony is that many men in the comments seem to not understand the perspective and are nearly emitting a threatened vibe, needlessly pointing out that both characters were flawed. Strong men (intellectually) aren’t concerned about pointing fingers, but can put themselves in the shoes of others without threatening their own egos. They are secure in themselves enough to see things from both perspectives and admit mistakes on their journey to great successes. The movie proves its own point - love it

It felt as both of them went crazy and should go to therapy. She was first a víctim of his poor ego, but then she acted as violently as him. It doesn't feel empowering to see an intelligent women being physically violent. Also it is not a thriller, just a violent relationship drama. In the end, we should take responsibility and just stop dating losers.

During the ending, when he finally cried and she was so very close to him, I felt panic. For a split second I thought that she might comfort and take care of him. Via direction and acting, if this was the intent: Nailed it. Then we moved on to that *not* being how this movie would end. I felt relief. Throughout the movie, I did feel what has been revealed in this interview: This was so much more about male fragility than female revenge.

Chloe - I absolutely loved the movie and bravo to you for your confidence and commitment and talent in telling this story. It’s super provocative and worthy of discussion way after watching - so that is why I’m responding to your ending and the explanation. I appreciate you chose to focus on male accountability. But I personally believe you are naive about rape in general - not sure if you are a survivor or not, sure you are as u mention, a survivor of toxic relationships and power dynamics but rape is different. I am a survivor and I’m shocked about how you and the audiences have not been also speaking about the fact that rape is a CRIMINAL offense - punishable by up to 30 years in prison!!!! I was raped by my fiancé who used it after the love bomb phase to show me one night that he was the one with power and he could hurt me as he did. Rape is not something that anyone gets over just because their partner cries and admits they are sorry and weak. Most abusers if they do ever admit it only do so to be able to cry manipulatively and get the victim to empathize with THEM so they go back to the relationship for more love bombing and then even more escalated abuse. It’s also very hard to prove rape between partners so most of the time it goes unpunished as u showed in the film. But it was so triggering and so sad that in this case, she actually had bruises , black eye etc she could have filed a police report and at least possibly had some criminal record established for him - a note on file that someone had reported him for assault - and she certainly wouldn’t have just gone back to her life after he apologized - it’s a long process to recover from the betrayal trauma and the actual trauma of violence and pain and shock that women and men go thru when they have that experience. As I said - so much respect for you as a filmmaker and artist - not even suggesting that you change a thing in your movie but please now that u have a platform and u chose to use rape as a part of telling your story, I hope that you educate yourself or get out of denial and face what should be spoken about now that you’re out there on panels and award shows etc Rape is a criminal offense and should be reported and prosecuted and no woman should feel like oh bummer I was raped and nothing will happen to the perpetrator except for his verbal comeuppance - it’s a crime - I hope it gets more exposure for that and that the conversation can open up the age of transformation and change for anyone who has experienced it. Thank you for listening. Best Joanne

As a survivor myself, I believe that rape should be reported and that it would be nice to see more representation in tv and film of it being reported. However, I also understand the reality that not everyone finds the courage to report it, you don't have to be a "perfect victim", I can see that represented in the film. From what I can tell in the film is that the main female character doesn't want people to know they were together as it might tank her career so I found it believable that she wouldn't report it to keep her current standing. Hopefully, women will feel more comfortable reporting rape regardless of anything if more representation of that is shown on shows and movies though.

I think that what this film maker was trying to portray was how difficult is it for a woman in the workplace to report harassment and sexual assault and rape. She has a career on the line and sadly, our society is especially cruel to women who try to go after their attackers. I know a person who lost her ENTIRE career over reporting workplace harassment and it’s so heartbreaking. People are imperfect and as such, there will never be a perfect victim who does exactly what they should after they, god forbid, are attacked. It’s so difficult to even think about let alone report

Film was definitely watchable, cast were good, story premise was also reasonably constructed and believable , but... the dysfunction spiral that the lead man goes down throughout the story was utterly ridiculous. The ending was embarrassing, both characters became totally unrecognizable.. I dont see this as a female empowerment tale, if that was the aim, it missed the mark entirely.. Basically just a story of one man's downfall and his fiance burying him at the end. If the director claims this is about male fragility, it's pretty flimsy. Neither character inevitably triumphs. Both belong in a psych ward. Others have already said it, but this story just seems to me like a female revenge fantasy from an emotionally scarred writer.

The director needs to see a professional. There is so much hate in her tone and choice of words towards the male character. It seems too personal for her. I wonder if this is based on her personal experience. You have to be true to your characters, and you have to empathize with them, no matter how vile they may seem to you. You speak of his accountability but you've completely neglected hers. You condemn his violence but justify hers. You can't have that woman overpower that guy with a steak knife. It doesn't make sense within your own reality. Based on what you showed us about him, he wouldn't think twice about grabbing a bottle next to him to defend himself. All and all, good film, but you forced your personal vendetta against men, and sacrificed realism for fantasy.

first things first. This is a confession rather than anything. I am a PhD student in a top research institute. I am in a relationship with an amazing woman who is my colleague. Things were also great when academically I was doing better than her. But I soon started feeling threatened when she started doing amazing. Her research has people talking about it like anything among professors of multiple departments. I love her, but the jealousy has always weighed on me. I have come to terms with it and started focussing on my work. When she talks about her work, I actually zone myself out without making it obvious for my peace. I have been a decent boyfriend, I support her. and with a lot of effort I have kept my ego aside, and be as a partner should be. But some days are a struggle. I have learnt to love my work, but ya, there are days where I feel down. I am not supporting luke here, but I actually felt bad for him until he completely lost it. I don't condone his actions, but I certainly empathize until I couldn't.

unwarranted advice but maybe you should talk to her about it so that you don't end up repressing it until you can't. it's perfectly normal to feel threatened but you need to own up to these feelings so you can eventually let them go lest they take over you.

It's nonsense. Girl power movies like this disregard this one key fact: women are advancing throughout all organizations and climbing quite high in their respective orgs. Some of it is no doubt attributable to their skills and intelligence; however, in many cases, they are simply the right gender at the right time. In this day and age where social issues are of paramount importance to the peanut gallery, it's no doubt that corporations are nervous about NOT promoting a woman regardless of her worthiness of the promotion. I don't begrudge a woman for advancing, but I become very skeptical when all of the promotions handed out at my company are women.

The issue between Emily and Luke is the fact jealousy was sown. Firstly,. Who on Earth call a woman 2am in the morning to give her a promotion letter. While not do it at work? Secondly, what do u want the man to think, after such a scenario played? Then he goes to work the following day and hears from this colleague the possibility of his girlfriend sleeping with Campbell for the promotion

I agree. But they are together from 2 years. By then they should have established good communication. His issue is lack of trust triggered by inferiority complex.Her issue is establishing boundaries whether its office or personal life . Her boss called her bitch, luke called her hooker but she yet did not take a stand for herself. And as a couple their issue is communication and prioritizing things.They avoided proper communication about their future together. He went in to survival mode and his love was not strong enough.If that was there he would have felt bad to hear such things about a woman that he proposed to marry mere few days ago. And if her Boss knew how good she is , luke too must have known that on some level. Her article got published in wall street journal when she was 17 yrs old. Surely he should have known she is deserving but he could not handle the rapid changes in how power dynamics changes in few days. She kept noticing his struggle and she could not even enjoy her success. Nothing feels more bad than close ones resenting your acheivements.

At this point in her young career, Emily did not feel powerful enough to tell her boss, "FO, Campbell. I was sleeping. I'll see you in the morning at work." And, later on when Campbell called her a "Stupid, f'ng b," she didn't stand up for herself. She just took the verbal abuse! By the end of the movie, she was finally fed up with all the abuse from men at home and work! I wonder if she took a straight-edge razor to work the next day? LMAO!

Although the narrative was intended to display today's twisted views of power dynamics within genres, I believe the story, as told, depicts a young couple ingenuously trying to manage a life-work balance without the experience to pursue it. It started with the fact that they were dating in the work environment, which was the fault of both of them. Companies set policies against it to avoid exactly what you see in this movie. Secondly, when she acted on hearsay over a promotion, without any actual facts, she set him up for a fall. This sparked the initial array of problems that followed. The movie serves as a reminder of the dos and don'ts in the work environment, including dating, rumors, and more. Another violation occurred when she got the promotion and decided to help him with his career because she was in a position to do so. This wasn’t based on merit, and once he said he didn’t need her help, she should have let it go. Her continued interference not only directly affected his ability to advance on his own, creating dependence and diminishing morale, but also started to affect her judgment at work. As a countermeasure, he became obsessed, abusive, egocentric, and felt unworthy, all as a result of both their actions. In conclusion, it is important to highlight that even though the movie aims to reflect today's ideals of female power and portray men negatively, the story actually provides a valuable exploration of personal responsibility. We all must be held accountable for our actions; there isn't a single victim in this movie. Loved the actors. :)

Although I mostly liked this film, am I the only one who thought of it as a successful yet disturbing satire of capitalism (and power games in general) in society as well as in relationships and of course between gender?? Cause in a healthy relationship or working environment you have equality and not ridiculous power games.... The kneeling of the male character in front of his boss, the "rape " scene then again the forced kneeling in front of his girlfriend and the knife assault makes me feel more about power issues in an unhealthy environment/society/relationship rather than male fragility... And what Emily became in the end (of course I am with her most of the time apart from the ending though i somehow "get" this too) reminds me more of her surrending into this stupid yet "fatal" jungle game (so typical in raw capitalism) rather than girl's empowerment😅

Which seems like a very pro-Capitalist (even Randian) point of view.

He is portrayed as a demon yet She had her moments too…. and provocations. Don’t think just because you are female you have a free pass to say whatever you want and verbally abuse a man as much as you want, eventually you will get hurt. Some women are ‘btches ’ and that is true. Emily is mixed, so was her boyfriend. She disrespected him by continually going out at 2am with other men, she didn’t care about his feelings. She assaulted him with a glass bottle, and lied that he was a stalker, hurting his chances of getting even a manual job after she earns half a million without telling him. I would hope my partner would share if they earned half a million because we are a UNIT, relying on one another for caring, sharing, and building our life together. If you treat a man that way, he will grow to hate you. So this movie seems sexist and one sided. Remember Amber heard Johnny Depp case, her chopping off his finger by throwing a bottle at him. That is in no way shape or form ok just because you are a woman and he is a man. This screenwriter is a bit dense. Lots of men have PTSD from borderline like women. Protect all abused people regardless of gender.

Very interesting movie, I utterly enjoyed it. Both actors were amazing. Both characters flawed, it did end up at a pretty insane place but the progression and escalation was done well, it felt quite organic. One thing I have to say in regards to this breakdown. I feel like especially recently, I've seen this phrase circling around that "rape isn't about sex, it's about power." And I just have to say that this is demonstrably not true. Yes, there's a huge element of power when it comes to rape. In many instances, I do believe that it can be much more about asserting power over the victim than the actual sex itself. But it absolutely is also about sex, and pretending it isn't is simplifying the issue. There are other (simpler...) ways to assert power that don't involve sexual contact. This is specific. No, it definitely is about sex. Power, too. Dominance. But rapists rape for their own sexual gratification.

I love this film! I think we all have met some shade of these type of people, whether it be the main characters or the work people. This film resonated with me on several levels. I like the female rage and regaining of power at the end, just because its a nice fantasy for many women who have dealt with abusive male partners. In reality, both characters are flawed but it makes for an exciting film to watch. Having known a few people like Luke, those type of friends that aren't friends at all and find perversive joy in a person's downfall, this ending was satisfying.

I think there's a strong dissonance too between what the director wanted to show, and what was actually shown. I watched the movie with my girlfriend, and we were both decidedly tipping the scales in Emily's favor. Until Emily’s psychotic fit at the very end, we were mostly in agreement that the drama's theme was fundamentally incompatible people with a stunted emotional growth who should've called quits on a relationship sooner, even if one clearly started developmentally worse off than the other. People whose flaws doomed their happiness. Also, people whose downward character arc finally sees them becoming horrible, spiteful, reprehensible shadow of the initial loving versions of themselves, resolved to use any means necessary to get what they want: be that their job or just an emotional payoff. So, no, I don't see neither "revenge fantasy" or "male fragility". If there's a cautionary tale, I'd say it's "be careful if you have a dysfunctional partner, they will drag you both down in the mud". Take Emily: she clearly starts as the far more level-headed, relatable character, one that both female and male audiences should empathize with due to the film priming her as either a better person, or the far more functional and supportive partner. But by the end, why should we ignore that we're left with her lying, blackmailing, and threatening her way through the climax? There's no comeuppance for anything. She keeps the job too because her scumbag boss is either gullible or willing to bury the truth. A neutral observer would really take a stance towards her going the same path as Luke's. I mean, heck, she starts her speech to Campbell as a "I'm going to be as transparent as I can be", and instead of admitting her own misdemeanors, literally every word she says is a lie meant to cover her ass, and make her boyfriend look even worse. If the film is about accountability, why the hell wouldn't she take accountability for breaking policies? Also, how would that have panned out if the firm sued Luke, which would almost inevitably uncover her own lie? The film doesn't quite bother acknowledging her confession as a relatively half-assed, desperate attempt to cover her tracks. Then we get to her home, and the viewer is just left believing that she's far off the deep end too, someone as bad if not worse than Luke (I mean, assault/domestic violence much between the bottle-smashing and knifing the heck out of him?). Him knowingly or less knowingly sowing the seeds of tension due to emotional immaturity or growing stress, and failing to de-escalate or regain his emotional balance, is hardly a justification for the way Emily acts in the last minutes. Again, just how is a viewer supposed to empathize with her again? By the end of the movie, we've ultimately gone from one psychologically insecure male and a smart and balanced female to two sociopaths, the worse one probably being the one who felt the most at ease with death threats. Yet, instead of talking about an overarching tragedy, it seems that the message is about how good it is that she "stood up" to him because he needed to be punished, I guess, for his male fragility. I mean, dude. So yeah, a decent movie and an entertaining psychological thriller. Overall, gaps in some plot developments, and some on-the-nose stuff (IB is bad enough, but no, in no firm in the world would a guy swinging a freaking golf bat be met with indifference while doing D&I training). The director's intended message-to me at least-seems really off base. For this reason alone, also a very rare case of the film looking, inadvertently, far better and more nuanced than what the vision was. I would've at least expected a standard “this is how I see it, but the true meaning is in the eye of the beholder” type of shtick. And by the way, the "rape" scene or "you could've stopped 10 seconds sooner while we were having fiery angry reconciliation sex, and you were basically nutting" makes me, if anything, worry about the weaponization or highly situational nature of consent, more than with rape.

As for the other folk, the answer to all the phrases in the post is "No, not really." "No, not really. I'd argue that it being rape is fully interpretative". "No, not really, I'd argue the movie didn't need to go there". Even if the scene serves well in highlighting how toxic and insane a relationship can get, it's far from a rape infomercial. I've interacted a fair bit with other online commenters. The stock response for those who thought it was rape "golly, it was 100%, undoubtedly rape, and you just don't get it if you don't get it". Very unsurprisingly, this comes almost exclusively from American folks (I will assume you are from the U.S., apologies if you're not), and it comes off as a pretty funny take regardless. Not even all American state-level legislation agree on the definition of rape _after_ consent has been previously given, same for the exact dynamics of retracting consent mid-act (normal hurdles are defining what's an acceptable response time, or how to determine consent has been retracted, i.e., use safewords for your kinkier sexual acts). There were sentences ending both in favor and against someone accused of rape, and legal consensus is that would mostly depend on the exact circumstances of the act and where the case is tried. The circumstances of the two characters, here, would make it a field day for a judge and jury. This might come off as a surprise, but to provide some context: lots of other countries in the EU and around the world either don't classify "rape" after consent is given at the beginning of the act (which I think is the other extreme end of the spectrum, and also not good, for plainly obvious reasons), or the subject is treated as tricky and decided on the very contextual cues and circumstances (which is a lot more grounded in the reality of sex and relationships, even if the application of the principle is still complicated). What's the case here? A soon-to-be-married couple having consensually violent, power-play sex for 5 minutes, and one going "thanks, bro, I know I asked you to, quote/unquote, 'fuck my brains out as violently as possible' for 90% of the screentime of this flick, and that I smashed a bottle on your head, and that I told you to act like a manly man and not like a pussy, but, see, now that I'm getting the S&M experience I wanted I'm 0.5% above my pain threshold. Kindly deactivate fuckmesenseless.exe instantly, or your status will be insta-updated to rapist." Especially funny when your partner is at the point of no-return -- he's orgasming 10 seconds later, for crying out loud; again, contextual awareness. Case in point, I'm in the EU. I watched the movie with my girlfriend and some friends, including happily engaged young women and young men. Not one person in the room felt the scene depicted "rape". The notion that the director intended such a message didn't even cross our minds. We saw it as angry sex with a hefty amount of S&M that went too far, where he was too rough with her at the end. Similarly, our take on the final scenes was her trying to blackmail him because he was awful for other significant reasons, not this "wronged victim seeking feminist revenge" narrative. In the end, influenced by a terrible partner, she became a corporate shark, part of a shitty system, and her own emotional balance is fucked to the point where she considered murdering someone she believed she loved. Stock downward character arc = executed. The other guy = probably still a pathological narcissist with now an extra dose of delusions of grandeur. Unless having a knife at his throat was a game-changer, as the director suggests. In a real-life scenario, I'm keener on believing he'd have been on the phone with a Big Law friend considering whether it's more appropriate to sue for "domestic violence", "attempted murder", or "assault with a deadly weapon" the moment he walked out the apartment. Nobody wins. The end.

@@LowRyder2005 sometimes circumstances could change and make someone change their mind and want to get out of an situation even after initial consent right. Even for SM play they sometimes have safe words and should have the freedom for any side to end when they want. so in this case, Emily wasn’t being vague and said stop couple times while he kept continuing, she couldn’t get out of it while he was pressing her down and she was hurting, it was clearly getting quite sexually violent… would you agree it is like an assault.. and who knows what happens at the end, hope it doesn’t end up making her pregnant…

Man if I was Luke I would have been supportive of my lady, this dude blew it with a gorgeous and strong lady, yea I get it going out at 2 am with the boss getting drunk isn’t a good look at all, I wouldn’t put up with it but I sure wouldn’t have been an insecure and jealous dude, if you’re engaged the both people should be supportive of one another. It does seem after hearing the director give her meaning behind the ending, she seems like she hates men and is pretty vindictive towards men. On a side note, not all men suffer from male fragility, whatever that means, I think the director has placed this into her psyche and probably needs some therapy. Other than that it’s a good movie 🤙🏽
