This conversational relationship film involving a quarrelling couple takes place over one long evening in a secluded house, as if on a theatre stage. The couple experience a sharp discharge of emotions in order to again remind each other of why they stay together. The duo of actors work well together. Some parts of the film are more personal, others are needless filler, and the motif of (not) accepting film criticism (the couple have just returned from the premiere of the male character’s film) and its content is not connected to the pair’s personal conflict in any meaningful way. Even as a separate storyline, it doesn’t add much to the film. In combination with black-and-white, the opening one-shot exposition indicates greater creative ambitions, but the film remains monotonously average in terms of its content. But there’s no question that Washington and Zendaya make an effort.

A nice acting exercise for two talented actors, but I feel it runs too much around in circles without producing anything important. I would slap both.

Malcolm & Marie is a solid dialogue-driven film that really leans on the talents of John David Washington and Zendaya. It’s all about the back-and-forth between them, and they absolutely deliver. Sure, the film dives into race and identity in the industry, but for me, it’s really about whether the actors are good—and here, they’re great. The emotional swings keep things interesting, so you’re never bored, even though it’s just the two of them on screen the whole time. Plus, Labrinth’s soundtrack adds a lot of mood to the whole experience.

Malcolm and Marie, and their argument that lasts over an hour and a half and keeps going around in circles. Surprisingly, I didn't even mind that there wasn’t any plot development since the film is visually appealing, and despite the content and dialogue where the two try to hurt each other as much as possible, I stayed nicely calm and relaxed while watching it. I don't know if that would be a compliment or an insult to Sam, but I definitely prefer it to falling into a depression. So all good by me.
