Must Watch Trailer for Wall St Thriller ‘Fair Play’ with Phoebe Dynevor

Fair Play Trailer

“Look into this, let me know what you think.” Here we go! Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for Chloe Domont’s extraordinary new film Fair Play, which is still one of our Top 10 films of the year so far. This first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in January (where I saw it), and it’s also playing at the Toronto Film Festival next coming up in September. An unexpected promotion at a cutthroat hedge fund in NYC pushes a young couple’s relationship to the brink, threatening to unravel far more than their recent engagement. It’s a remarkably taut, intense film about toxic masculinity and how many men get angry when a woman gets promoted over them. Phoebe Dynevor stars as Emily, with Alden Ehrenreich as Luke, plus Eddie Marsan, Rich Sommer, Sebastian De Souza, Sia Alipour, and Brandon Bassir. I wrote in my glowing review, after watching this one get a huge standing ovation, that “it’s just an amazing film to watch, with refreshingly vibrant NYC cinematography.” Everything about this one is top notch! Take a look. // Continue Reading ›
