Romy, a powerful CEO, risks her career, family, and status by embarking on a submissive relationship with Samuel, one of the company's young interns. Halina Reijn's psychological drama explores power dynamics and sexuality. The film introduces some intriguing elements, but I wish its main characters resembled living, breathing human beings. As it stands, Romy and Samuel feel like conceptual objects working in a company where nobody ever seems to do any work.
