【Watch Wet Woman in the Wind (2016)】
If you've caught even a minute of The Watch Wet Woman in the Wind (2016)Handmaid's Tale, you know Elisabeth Moss's ability to grace our screens with suffering is unparalleled.
SEE ALSO: After Kennedy's retirement, are we entering 'Handmaid's Tale' territory?But sadly, with the second Handmaid's finale right around the corner, we are staring down the barrel of a few Moss-less months.
Luckily, The One I Love, a dark indie film created by the Duplass brothers, features enough Moss-centric torment to get those of us missing our weekly Gilead-induced sobbing through a weekend or two.
Some super vague spoilers for The One I Love are ahead.
The 2014 Sundance screening of The One I Lovewas shrouded in mystery. Many critics refrained from divulging the film's premise in reviews and the trailer tells you next to nothing—all on the basis that being kept in the dark made the film better.
Out of respect for this awesome flick, I am going to do my best to keep up the secrecy. Here is what I willtell you.
The film begins with Sophie (Moss) and Ethan (Mark Duplass) going on a retreat at the recommendation of a marriage counselor. Facing massive trust issues after a bout of infidelity, the couple is promised a "renewed" romance and a second shot at their lifelong commitment to one another.
Once they arrive, reality goes out the window and stuff gets weird... fast.
Think more Black Mirror than Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
The stunning Ojai backdrop and "romantic comedy" descriptor are massive misdirects. Moss and Duplass do make for charming opposites, but if you're settling into a cuddly date night, this isn't the right pick. The comedy beats burn bright and at its core the film is about rekindling a relationship—but the means it uses to get there have distinct sci-fi elements.
It's a tough film to label, but for a general ballpark on genre, think more Black Mirror thanForgetting Sarah Marshall.
That being said, don't expect any "Black Museum"-style violence. Unlike The Handmaid's Tale, none of The One I Lovecharacters' suffering is physical. You won't have to cover your eyes as Aunt Lydias walks through the door. But you will feel very uneasy and maybe a little psychologically bruised by the film's end. Especially when it comes to Elisabeth Moss's character and her fate.
If you're looking for a jack-of-all-trades film that keeps you intrigued, enraged, and on the verge of a break down, you need to queue up The One I Love. Despite lacking traditional thriller tropes and featuring a rather cheery Ted Danson, this movie has a final act that made me wish Moss would sprint back to the Waterfords' for a game of Scrabble.
The One I Love can be rented or purchased on Amazon.
