Director: Tate Taylor
Rating: 
A fairly intriguing story gets the trashy treatment in Tate Taylor’s amiably cast darkly satirical look at fame and the tabloid media. Starring accomplished names like Allison Janney, Awkwafina and Mila Kunis the film aims for a side-splitting high but all it achieves instead is a sad downward curl of the lip.
The story of a woman - Sue Buttons( Allison Janney) a middle-aged suburbanite, wearing her cloak of invisibility as she goes about her routine within her home and call centre job, who one fine day finds her husband, banker Karl (Matthew Modine), in bed with his mistress (Bridget Everett). A confrontation follows and Karl’s heart gives out… and this happens just when Sue was beginning to fuel her self-esteem with affirmations. Sue is no longer ready to just become a wallflower widow. She buries the evidence and craving for kind of focus that a TV personality (Juliette Lewis) is devoting to the case of a missing girl – she makes the startling claim that her husband is missing.
