Fair Play

I was glued to it. It had the sensibility of "Fatal Attraction," and "Wall Street;" an adult thriller, the kind they made in the 1980s. What's it all about?  Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) are lovers, secretly, for they are also coworkers as market analysts in an investment firm (run by Campbell and play by the Eddie Marsan (Ray Donavan)). Campbell promotes Emily to portfolio manager over Luke and then their relationship begins to take a turn. The performances of Dvnevor and Ehrenreich are outstanding. I would love to see either of them get a nomination for this. But it wasn't just their acting, it was the twists and turns of the script - it went places I didn't expect it to go. The story is about power relations, sexual relations, work relations; it's about money, ambition, and self worth. It's polished and riveting - sex, booze, and money; sign me up. It's a wild ride and you can catch it now streaming on Netflix.
