Last Night – Massy Tadjedin

Joanna (Keira Knightley) suspects her husband Michael (Sam Worthington) is into his colleague Laura (Eva Mendes) and while the two of them went to a business trip together, Alex (Guillaume Canet) Joanna’s ex was in town for work. A night unfolds temptation, curiosity and suspense. How certain are you, this is not going to be your last night of your former life?

“It’s natural people have curiosity.” Joanna said.

The struggles of the married couple are thrilling to watch. “Did we marry too early?” Jo asked after an argument about Michael never did mention his stunning colleague Laura to her. “No, it only gets better.” Michael replied. Who would dare to say yes.

“Remind me why it didn’t work?” Alex asked

The relationship between Joanna and Alex is much more complex than the other. Obviously they both love each other, the problem is Jo is married. They met when Jo and Michael were in between of their relationship. They both write, sharing the same passion made them bond faster and deeper.

“If he were here, I would still be attracted to you.” Laura said.

What Laura wants is obvious it just down to what Michael is willing to break. How Laura keeps inviting Michael to non-drinking, asking sensitive questions, we know Laura is disparate. It’s sarcastic that she keeps stressing she would be faithful to her late boyfriend but her actions are telling the opposite.

“Why didn’t you tell your husband about Alex?”

Do we need an answer here? There are certain past that we could never get over with, especially those who you are deeply in love and there is never a chance that you guys could be together, would you tell your love that you think of someone else when you doubt the relationship you are having now?

This happens around us all the time. Every step you take leads to a different end. But are you willing to take a risk?
