The Party

Janet's husband (Timothy Spall) wants to make a declaration, the lesbian couple (Cherry Jones, Emily Mortimer) have just received the news that they expect triple twins, the bestie (Patricia Clarkson) wants a divorce, and that's not all: a handsome invitee (Cillian Murphy) is hiding a revolver under his jacket. As the group runs out of red wine everybody feels more and more uncomfortable playing the role demanded by the circumstances and the dialogue oriented chamber drama is proceeding towards a grotesquely tragic end.
