‘You, Me & Her’ Review: A Married Couple Admits a Plus-One in Deft Relationship Tale
Dan Levy Dagerman and Selina Ringel created the sly comedy, wherein a fractious couple find surprising balm in the form of an attractive third party.
But this pleasing collaboration between director Dan Levy Dagerman and writer-star Selina Ringel — who are duly married — ultimately proves less about sexy polyamorous hijinks than negotiating the sometimes daunting difficulties of long-term wedded domesticity. A night of carnal (and/or voyeuristic) bliss is anticipated … though it ends up going majorly off the rails, thanks in part to an untimely visit from Ash’s loudmouthed business partner (Graham Sibley) and his almost equally filter-free wife (Anna Campbell). These characters aren’t the deepest (or least self-absorbed) people in the world, but as written and acted, their gripes have a stinging validity, which makes it all the more satisfying when the film manages to credibly orchestrate a sobered yet conciliatory, upbeat fade-out for them both.
