Writer/Director Matt Winn with THE TROUBLE WITH JESSICA: Interview/Film Breakdown

Bond on Cinema

Ladies and gentlemen, I find it rare in cinema today to come across films in which the storyline, the character development, acting and in this case the additional brilliance of the music score just proves cinema is safe in the hands of visionaries like Matt Winn. It’s got to be part of being blessed with the polymath gene I guess.

THE TROUBLE WITH JESSICA is about a successful professional London couple Sarah (Shirley Henderson) and Tom (Alan Tudyk) are in deep financial trouble. Their situation takes a terrifying nosedive with the shocking behavior of their uninvited dinner guest, Jessica (Indira Varma). Faced with the moral dilemma of their lives--and dragging their best friends Richard (Rufus Sewell) and Beth (Olivia Williams) with them--they make a series of choices that could be either their salvation or their destruction.

THE TROUBLE WITH JESSICA was such a delight to watch, I want to watch it again. I am a bit bias as I do lean more towards British comedies more so than the American films we see now and then. The British just have a better sense of humor, even if it’s a dark comedy.

Everything about this film is on point. Every character’s personal issues and flaws just come pouring out. The whole drama shows we all know how to hide things or put on a fake mask, but when pressure is applied, the truth comes out.

This film has A+ cinematography, an all-star cast, and little nuances that fill in all the blanks. And make sure you have your hears tuned in as the music score that Matt Winn and Matt Cooper created is a thing of brilliance and just adds the emotion to the whole film.

THE TROUBLE WITH JESSICA is a five star dark comedy you don’t want to miss!
