Disillusioned by courting — the fixed swiping by means of apps, the awkward conversations, the slim pickings — Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones, “Regular Folks”) is about prepared to surrender on discovering a associate. However then, as we see within the new trailer for Sundance pic “Contemporary,” she experiences “a straight lady’s fantasy come true”: a meet-cute with a good-looking, charming stranger on the grocery retailer.
As a rule, Noa is cautious of looking for “happiness by means of another person,” however she falls laborious for Steve (Sebastian Stan, “I, Tonya”). Sadly, as quickly as she begins to really feel safe in her new relationship, Steve reveals his true, horrifying colours. “You’re gonna freak out,” he tells Noa. “No video games — isn’t that what you wished?”
It’s unclear precisely what Steve has deliberate for Noa, however she’s clearly in severe hazard. “It’s about giving, giving your self over to anyone, turning into one eternally,” Steve says. “That’s love.” By no means has a romantic declaration appeared extra menacing.
Mimi Cave’s characteristic directorial debut, “Contemporary” was acquired by Searchlight Footage forward of its premiere at Sundance final month. Lauryn Kahn (“Ibiza”) penned the horror-romantic comedy mashup.
