A sharp, satirical comedy about a glamorous couple (Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch) who slowly drift apart. With sparkling dialogue, wicked humour and a surprising amount of heart, director Jay Roach dissects the façade of power couples.

The life of the perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch) seems simple: successful careers, a loving marriage, wonderful children. beneath the façade of their seemingly ideal life, a storm is brewing. When Theo's career takes a nosedive while Ivy's own ambitions take off, a hotbed of fierce competition and hidden resentment emerges.
