A man and a woman check into a motel... It begins rather like a play, then moves around in time, like Pulp Fiction, with chapter headings (but remains largely there). Almost everyone is not who they seem to be. There's a 'priest' Jeff Bridges, a hotel clerk, Lewis Pullman (Battle of the Sexes, Lean on Pete, Catch-22), a singer, Cynthia Erivo (who's British and a great singer, Harriet, Widows), Dakota Johnson, 'salesman' (who you know isn't) John Hamm, Cailee Spaeny and Chris Hemsworth.
A long and merry puddle, quite watchable though somewhat bonkers, photographed by Seamus McGarvey in widescreen, music by Michael Giacchino. Goddard co-wrote the crazy The Cabin in the Woods and The Martian.
Erivo's standing up to the maniac Hemsworth is one of the highlights.
