IN 'FAIR PLAY', A BATTLE OF THE SEXES ON WALL STREET
AppleMagazine|October 13, 2023
The disquieting root of Chloe Domont's slinky, slick feature debut "Fair Play" lies in the face of Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) as he learns that his fiance Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) has been given the promotion at their Wall Street hedge fund he thought was his.
IN 'FAIR PLAY', A BATTLE OF THE SEXES ON WALL STREET

"Congratulations," he says with a grin that looks more like a grimace. "That's amazing!" 

Ehrenreich, a cunning actor here given a part to chew on, conveys the moment with the just right mix of of support for Emily and shattering woundedness. Up to this point, we've seen Emily and Luke as only a swoon-worthy romantic pair deeply in love with one another. In the film's breezy opening moments, they slip away from a party to have sex in a bathroom. After, Luke kneels to propose.

But the engagement ring lies ominously on the counter when both dress in the morning for work in their Chinatown apartment at the same high-powered hedge fund in downtown New York. They've left some inner version of their selves at home; at the office, they must keep their relationship a secret for the sake of company policy and their own career ambitions.
