Provocative and unsettling. Paul and Elaine are stuck, increasingly dissatisfied with each other and their comfortable suburban existence. A claustrophobic and desolate tale of disintegration - of their marriage, their home and states of mind. Brutal, depraved, darkly comic and almost ridiculous in parts, their desperation builds. I felt a sense of foreboding throughout and almost relief when the end comes.
