As the plot unravels, so does the twisted and at times violent relationship between hosts George and Martha. Nick and Honey stay well into the night, quickly lured into their volatile, yet fascinating world. Wilner and set designer...
...Fishburn and Jakim also deserve accolades as supporting actors. Fishburn was appropriately cocky and vapid and Jakim was appropriately meek. Jakim’s nervous giggle especially intensified my sense of being caught in the midst of a family feud...
