The Oranges
A darkly comedic and acutely uncomfortable romance unfolds as a longstanding suburban friendship fractures when a father begins an affair with his son’s girlfriend. Set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic Christmas season, the film doesn’t revel in the scandalous nature of the situation, but instead meticulously dissects the resulting emotional fallout – the quiet desperation of a failing marriage, the confusing emergence of adult desires, and the corrosive impact of unspoken resentments on family dynamics. The narrative subtly shifts perspectives, avoiding judgment and instead creating a pervasive sense of awkwardness and emotional claustrophobia that lingers long after the credits roll, exploring how easily established social structures can crumble under the weight of individual impulses.
