The Trouble With Jessica

The Trouble With Jessica

The Trouble With Jessica

Dir. Matt Winn
89 min

A whip-smart black comedy satirizing the British upper-middle classes, their hopes, dreams, duplicities and hypocrisies. Sarah (Shirley Henderson) and Tom (Alan Tudyk) are in terrible financial trouble. On the brink of losing everything, they’ve managed to find a buyer for their stylish London home. When their best pals Richard (Rufus Sewall) and Beth (Olivia Williams) come ‘round for a final dinner, an uninvited old friend, Jessica (Indira Varma), tags along. After a seemingly trivial argument and a tragic event, the couples must work together to make it out of a nightmare. What could possibly go wrong? They might even learn something about themselves in the process. The playful script by Matt Winn and James Handel hilariously shows the British fondness for the F-word and the multiple ways it can be used. The top-notch ensemble cast is a delight. –AS
