FairPlay: A Review
<p>I never set out to be a film critic.</p><p><br/></p><p>Here, we mostly talk about…honestly, I’m not even sure anymore. Feelings? Life? Definitely not whether a movie earns it’s plot twist. </p><p><br/></p><p>But someone said to me, “Write a review.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I said yes before remembering I have an attention span of a four year old. But I did it. I watched Fairplay.</p><p><br/></p><p>Consider this my official, slightly begrudging, quite-corner-approved review. I’ll be over here pretending I know what I’m talking about, with just enough humor to make sure no one falls asleep before I get to the point.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, let’s talk about Fairplay.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s about two people in finance. A couple. She gets the promotion. He doesn’t. His ego is bruised and things go downhill fast.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>The guy. Let me tell you about him.</p><p><br/></p><p> Every time he opened his mouth, I felt my soul leave my body. I could feel my blood pressure rise and my eye twitch. The way he assumed she got the job because she’s a woman—that she must have slept her way up there. Not that she was good at her job. Not that she earned it. Just jumped straight into the worst possible conclusion.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I don’t think I’ve been this annoyed by a man on my screen before.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>But honestly? The tension was good. </p><p><br/></p><p>Uncomfortable, but good. You feel the shift between them and the acting holds up. You believe they actually liked each other once which makes watching them fall apart even worse. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Then the ending happened. </p><p><br/></p><p>Watching her make him beg? Worth it. It was worth every minute of frustration and anger. I actually cheered. </p><p><br/></p><p>So who’s this movie for? </p><p><br/></p><p>If you enjoy watching insecure men get what they deserve, this one’s for you. If you ever had someone assume your success came from anything other than your own effort, this one will hit.</p><p><br/></p><p>But if you need someone to root for, though? Maybe skip it. Everyone here is varying degrees of messy and there’s nothing light about it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Would I watch it again? Probably not. Am I glad I watched it? Yes. Mostly because that ending lives rent-free in my head now. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
