CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 8.1

Two young men host a dinner party in their apartment shortly after committing murder, hiding the body nearby while welcoming the victim’s family and friends. As conversation unfolds, their confidence and composure begin to face pressure from an observant former teacher who senses that something is wrong.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy contained moral thrillers, talk-heavy suspense, and theatrical experiments like Dial M for Murder; Not for you if you need fast action, naturalistic dialogue, or complex locations.
