Alistair Lawrence

Shot in writer-director Robert Machoian's trademark 4:3 framing, with plenty of stylish but unfussy long, unbroken takes, The Killing of Two Lovers makes for a bumpy ride as Crawford's troubled David tries to plot a course back to reconciliation.

The performances are divine, the subject matter is sometimes heart-breaking yet always captivating, and the use of long takes and negative space elevate this movie to an extremely high level.

This is a terribly overlooked film featuring an even more overlooked lead performance from Clayne Crawford...

It's a film built on moments of tension and release more than plot and dialogue, a good representation of how muddled things can get, and how useless words can be, when a relationship is in jeopardy.

Rather than descending into a genre exercise inflected with indie aesthetics, The Killing of Two Lovers weighs the emotional strain and vulnerability of marriage.
