Film critic Peter Travers reviews 'Fair Play,' now in theaters in advance of its Oct. 13 debut on Netflix.
September 29, 2023, 4:15 AMNever discount the seductive heat of an erotic thriller to get at the sexual politics invading the workplace. Case in point: "Fair Play," now in theaters in advance of an Oct. 13 debut on Netflix. Having sold for a record $20 million at the year's Sundance Film Festival, "Fair Play," which is all about playing dirty, is appropriately set in the world of high finance. And make no mistake, it's a powerhouse.
You couldn't find two better actors than Ehrenreich and the British Dynevor, expertly using an American accent, to find the roiling tension beneath the surface sizzle. After all, Luke must now report to her. He pretends it's OK, but for this mass of insecurity masked by ego it is so, so not. The actors nail every nuance in this unbalanced relationship. Their performances are double dynamite.
