CinemaNow - Cleopatra's Second Husband

“There’s a deadly serpentine sting in “Cleopatra’s Second Husband,” an icy, finely chipped drama that is stirred with delicious doses of deadpan irony and deliberate malevolence. In this modern-day relationship story, Robert (Paul Hipp) and his whiny wife Halle (Bitty Schram) are an affluent married couple trying to have a child. Unfortunately, the necessary methodical approach to procreation is creating a strain in their marriage with its perfunctory, goal-oriented lovemaking. Deciding to take a month in the country to resuscitate their failing marriage, Halle hires a pretty pair of house-sitters. A delicious duo named Zack (Boyd Kestner) and Sophie (Radha Mitchell) who move in and when Robert and Halle’s vacation fails accelerating the couple’s decision to divorce, Halle moves out. Feeling lonely and vulnerable, Robert allows the house-sitters to stay, setting in motion a flurry of perverse power games between the two men as they descend into hell.”  D. Byrge Hollywood Reporter.
