Verdict on Four Little Adults
Four Little Adults is a drama following four adults who decide to enter an open marriage to deal with one couple’s adultery. It leads to different emotional developments and a strange family dynamic with the people they meet. However, the question is more about whether everyone involved is happy.
This movie explores a world where people live in more open relationships, but not everyone gets the same out of the relationship. It shows the different situations everyone goes through, with some getting more out of the relationship than others. While it does open a bigger discussion, it doesn’t seem to offer enough in the way of whether it is what is best for everyone involved.
