‘I Don’t Understand You’ Review: Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells’ Gay Italian Vacay Takes a Demented Turn
In Brian Crano and David Craig’s twisted queer comedy, a couple plans a trip to Italy, misinterpreting cultural differences in disastrous ways.
Loosely inspired by filmmakers Brian Crano and David Craig’s bumpy road to fatherhood, catty black comedy “I Don’t Understand You” depicts a stretch in Dom and Cole’s relationship when everything seems to be going their way … until suddenly it doesn’t. That motivation preempts everything else the world throws at them, from misunderstandings they choose to read as microaggressions — like the hotel clerk who can’t process why they’ve booked the honeymoon suite, and proceeds to make a big show of separating the beds — to more explicit threats. Dom and Cole are immediately charmed by the rustic restaurateur, Francesca (“White Lotus” veteran Eleonora Romandini), though their imaginations start to get the better of them, misinterpreting their knife-wielding host and her macho son (Morgan Spector) as potential threats.
