‘Fair Play’ Sundance Review: An Intense Ride Down A Slippery Slope As Young Couple Descends Into Relationship Hell
starts at a party where patrons are jamming to Donna Summer. At the center of it all is Emily smoking a cigarette. She’s in a relationship with Luke and he steals her away for a quickie. However, they quickly realize she has started her period. In the melee of trying to clean up, a ring drops out of his pocket to the ground which Emily discovers. He was going to surprise her with a marriage proposal, one that she promptly says yes to.
One night Emily is called to come join her boss Rory at a late night bar for drinks but when she arrives Rory is gone and the head honcho Campell is there. He talks to her about her career trajectory, going from a 17-year old business journalist to climbing up the corporate ladder two years after graduating from Harvard.
It’s a known fact that the biggest reason for divorce and relationship breakups is money. Between Luke and Emily, her status is what causes their eventual disconnection. Only his fiancé is in his corner as his own bosses dislike his work ethic, and now he has the pressure of his fiancé constantly reminding him of his failure. In a desperate quest to help Luke getting recognized by the big-wigs, Emily puts her own job in jeopardy.
