*I Have No Words*
**3.5 Stars**
This is a story of a couple who were in love and have a daughter who is plagued with health challenges. The father Ben is a cartoonist and His wife Mia a corporate lawyer. As Mia is the breadwinner Ben becomes the stay at home Dad. He is hands on and when there is a huge tragedy Ben is slow at letting Mia know who often worked away as she rose through the ranks at work. Their relationship has changed to having lots of resentment and pain. Neither wants to discuss or admit it and this is what happens instead.
Be prepared to enter the ridiculous. Well Ben is at home one night in bed and he is woken by a vague idea of hearing Mia’s voice. He cannot shift how crap he feels. Why is that? He shortly realises the sound is coming from the answer phone and there are several messages on the landline.
Mia needs help she is in trouble and when they eventually speak she gives him a list of items to bring including bin bags, bleach and a holdall. He must not drive, he must get a cab, stop shy of the address and walk. He arrives not prepared for what he sees, then beggars belief he enters a rabbit hole of deceit and not not to mention all their secrets start to unravel. The story is told from both points of view as they work up to how they have found themselves in this predicament.
As they get to work to clear up what has happened they realise everything in the room is on tape and as they try to cover their tracks things get worse and worse.
It was so over the top for me, I added the audio and it includes virtually every sound affect a touch too much for my taste. The music at some of the madness intervals was more than enough.
This is a couple in pain that end up with blood on their hands.
