Phil Schreiber, a self-involved hedge fund manager living in New York City, escapes to the Hamptons with his wife and son at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Making an already fraught situation worse is the surprise arrival of Phil’s college roommate Charlie, an exemplar of Falstaffian excess. As Charlie makes himself at home, secrets are revealed that threaten to do more harm than the virus they’re all trying to avoid.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
