This had some really witty humor throughout. Seeing Willem Dafoe portray genuine happiness was a delight. Greta Lee was equal parts magnetic and completely phony.
I loved the ending, with the group’s cracks finally coming to a head and no one truly being who they claimed to be.

Bought my Sammy Burch season tickets on the way out of the theater. One of the most exciting up and coming writers in the industry!
