Sundance 2023: Fair Play, Cat Person | Festivals & Awards | Roger Ebert

Dumont's script for "Fair Play" is a sharp slow burn, a movie that's very dialogue heavy and yet still plays like a thriller.As Emily and Luke start to get more competitive, their filters in arguments start to fade away and they say the kind of things that change a relationship forever.Dumont captures the insanely stressful world of finance with remarkable detail (working on "Billions" probably helped), but the movie really hums in Emily and Luke's apartment.
