Review of The Intervention (2016) by Narrative M — 29 Aug 2018
Watch this if: You love a good indie drama with a strong shot of comedy that features LGBTQ+ characters in main roles.
Three couples gather in a sprawling Southern mansion to convince their friends to get a divorce. Sounds harsh, right? Surprisingly not. Clea Duvall's writer-director debut is funny and pretty thought-provoking. What begins as a simple indie rom-com quickly turns into a study of the real complexities of romantic relationships. Ensemble pieces can be tricky, but the performances were stellar, with every character striking their own unique note. We were deeply moved and reminded to always sympathize with others, no matter how tempting passing judgment can be.
