THE TRAILER
THE DETAILS
DIRECTOR: Charlie McDowell
WRITER: Justin Lader
CAST: Mark Duplass, Elisabeth Moss, Ted Danson
GENRE: Drama / Comedy
RUNTIME: 91 min
YEAR: 2014
THE PLOT
At the insistence of their marriage counselor (Danson), Ethan (Duplass) & Sophie (Moss) take a weekend trip to a remote cottage in hopes of rejuvenating their marriage. Upon exploring the property the couple discovers something peculiar happening in the un-used guest house.
THE REASON
It appears I’m on some kind of “Mark Duplass stars opposite just one other actor” kick right now. I’d rather not ruin the odd twist explored at the center of The One I Love, so I’ll just give you the high-concept studio executive pitch: It’s like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meet Solaris.
