If I'm being totally honest, this movie was not that great. The concept was kind of cool because it focused on only 2 characters. Don't get me wrong John David Washington, son of Denzel Washington, and Zendaya do give great performances but they never reached the breakthrough level.
Washington plays Malcolm who just released a film. At the premiere he forgets to thank Marie during his speech. Zendaya plays Marie, who has plenty of her own demons, and is what the main character in Malcolm's film is based on.
The two return home from the premiere party, and it's 1 o'clock in the morning and immediately start arguing. You can tell from the beginning that Marie is ticked off about something. Marie makes some mac and cheese and the movie is worth it just to watch Malcolm destroy the mac and cheese while arguing with Marie.
It's then that it's revealed that Malcolm didn't mention Marie in his speech. Arguments ensue and they are brutal.
Then the "white woman from the LA Times" review gets posted online and another argument ensues.
The go between the stone cold put downs and the lovey dovey scenes grew boring but that's the core of the movie.
Again, the performances were great but the storyline could have used a bit of work. I just don't feel this movie will be a lot of fans cup of tea.
