Malcolm & Marie

[Available Feb. 5 in theaters and on Netflix.] After a filmmaker (John David Washington) returns home from his movie premier in Los Angeles with his gorgeous girlfriend (Zendaya) who feels neglected and underappreciated in Sam Levinson's black-and-white, well-written, realistic, love-it-or-hate-it, 106-minute romantic film highlighted by terrific acting, striking cinematography, and foul-mouthed, toxic, insult-laced dialogue and vaguely reminiscent of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, their volatile relationship is tested when nonstop bickering and fighting ensue while discussing life and art, dissecting their volatile relationship, and waiting for film reviews from critics.
