The Honeymoon Phase

There are questions of trust, identity, spousal abuse, deception, differing expectations, and emotional incompleteness, all contained within a narrative that creates a terrifying-- and all too recognizable -- world.

Couples are studied to understand why couples change. Does the central couple change, or did they simply not know each other as well as they thought? Intriguing film, but doesn't quite answer its own question, and nor is it clear about its key theme.

The Honeymoon Phase never rose above being a bargain bin Black Mirror.

Director/writer Phillip G. Carroll Jr. builds tension fluidly.
