Intimacy is brilliantly weaponized in this standout film from American rising star Kit Zauhar. Assembling a chamber drama with staggering performances and bruising humor, she twists space and sound into battle zones of emotion where closeness is at once bitter and erotic, touching and barbed.

On the eve of her estranged sister Pauline's wedding to unemployed musician/artist/depressive Malcolm at the family seaside home, Margot shows up to rekindle the sisterly bond and offer her own brand of support.
