Domestic Tragedy or French Farce?
27 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
There was an element of French farce to this film that saw constant scurrying in and out of the rooms of a luxury hotel in the Caribbean. The search was on through the various rooms for the disappearance of the enigmatic politician Jackson Lewis.

The very pregnant Aubrey, the girlfriend of Jackson, is leading the charge in entering the hotel rooms. But her situation is complicated and her vision clouded by the apparent interference of Jackson's mother, who wants her son to marry his former flame Samantha.

The filmmakers adopted an intriguing structure of flashbacks to slowly reveal the major twist about Samantha and her mother and to provide clarity about the opening scene with the film's major victim, Laura.

Just as the film was about to venture melodramatically into the area of domestic tragedy, it reversed course and headed back in the direction of French Farce. Viewers will have to tune in for the surprise!
