Synopsis
Golden Exits (2018) is an indie drama from writer-director Alex Ross Perry, available to watch online on iFILM. Shot in Brooklyn with a cast that includes Emily Browning, Mary-Louise Parker, Jason Schwartzman, Chloë Sevigny, and Lily Rabe, it operates in the quiet register of a film more interested in symptoms than in causes.
Nika, a young Australian woman spending time abroad, takes a temporary position helping a family archivist. Her presence alone — nothing more dramatic than that — begins to loosen things inside two households already under low-grade strain. A spouse grows distracted. Old resentments find new air. Perry's dialogue works by what it doesn't resolve, and the ensemble knows exactly how to play a conversation that's really about something else.
The film won't suit anyone who needs plot momentum, but for viewers who like Noah Baumbach's domestic register pushed into colder territory, it rewards patience. Stream Golden Exits online on iFILM.
