Where to Watch Fair Play
Fair Play Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin Ward4 juli 2025A fiery debut feature from Chloe Domont exploring the gender dynamics of newly engaged couple, Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich). Both working for the same cutthroat financial firm, they have been keeping their passionate romance under wraps. But when Emily is granted a promotion, their lives and relationship begin to destruct. Dynevor sets the screen on fire. Definitely a name I’ll keep an eye out for. Ehrenreich is excellent as well and their chemistry together is remarkable. When office romance turns to psychological thriller, I think some aspects of Luke’s extremely fragile male ego stretched believability a touch. The ending really works though and makes for a satisfying conclusion.
- rg94001 november 2024This movie is not playful nor bottled into a single setting nor is it particularly erotic. However, it examines power dynamics in a relationship, all centered around a high stakes job. It takes a bit to get going, but when it gets going, it is viscous as it builds up a sense of foreboding as the insidious and subtle incisions spiral into downright terror. Set against in what seems like either a hedge fund or a prop shop, capturing the high octane environment, the pressure, and the toxicity, throwing a couple into the mix and watching their relationship careen wildly across the screen. Alden Ehrenreich builds off his performance in Oppenheimer with an excellent portrayal of a type of character that sorely is missing examination in media, but the real star performance is Phoebe Dynevor whose anxiety is palpable with every movement. This is a stressful and deeply unpleasant movie, but an important one, and I do think if you enjoy examinations of power dynamics in relationships, you should watch this.
- Varun19 oktober 2024The movie starts out well but falters once you realise who Luke is. His character turns out to be a man baby, and since it’s very one note, it doesn’t make for a complex film and the relationship falls flat too. Am I to believe that in the 2 years of their relationship Emily did not see a single red flag at all? It’s more interesting to see a sane person go crazy rather than an already detestable person giving the silent treatment and throwing tantrums the entire movie. I’m not saying people like Luke don’t exist in real life, but it’s boring to watch a movie about a sore loser. Emily on the other hand was very well written and she carries the film. The background music and acting was great, and there were a lot of unique interesting scenes. This movie had a lot of potential, I just wish it dug deeper into hegemonic masculinity and it’s complex issues.
