As the first scene in ‘Between’ opens, it might feel like watching another ‘Marriage Story’ (even though we should have seen ‘Between’ first). Chelsea (Stella Damasus) then lays out many different details about men and marriages to us. This assembles broken marriages, infidelity and most of all feminism together as the theme of ‘Between’.
Rather than make a compound review of all spines of this movie, we will focus on the narrative. ‘Between’ is available on Youtube for free.
Chelsea is a four-time divorcee who is helping couples fix their marriages while advocating against married men who cheat. Chelsea totally murders men with bandwagons like “you must think I am…..”. Or the slogan of insecure the woman, “men think women are dumb like we are some item that can be picked up, used and thrown away”.
Let’s get this straight, Chelsea is so flawed. In fact, the character is an angry and bitter 34-year-old who have had bad experiences in marriage. What’s unseemly is that she counsels couples, and that mix is a nonetheless icy ingredient for the movie.
You just wonder what this bitter therapist tells her clients especially the women. She probably just advises them to divorce. But watch out, Chelsea is also a special breed of human who embodies one of the strongest forms of love, selflessness.
Chelsea is the woman ‘Between’ not the real woman and the movie poster is totally perplexing. But she is also the one who knew exactly what Ben (Travis Grenier) wanted and the secret of getting him back with his wife.
However, she also almost destroyed the marriage unintentionally even though she was courageous enough to help fix it which a great twist.
‘Between’ plays for two hours, but sort of seems like it was rushed at least in the beginning.
But then again, “a very refined African accent”, seriously was that supposed to be a credit? That’s a fail and that entire scene was an odd way to represent Africa.
