When It Goes Dark

2026 · 96 min

A sharp, talky comedy where marital spite and petty revenge simmer under a deceptively light surface.

Overview: The only thing separating Nina and Richard from divorce is a contract they once wrote on a paper napkin while drunk, in which they pledged that whoever causes the end of the relationship will not receive a single crown from their joint property.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, tense and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Betrayal, revenge, love, greed
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
