Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell are stepping out for the day!
Charlie McDowell’s lockdown project “Windfall” is a farcical comedy that attempts to have some bite about capitalism. Jason Segel plays a man known only as “Nobody,” who breaks into a billionaire’s empty vacation home near the Topatopa Mountains in Ojai, California.
“Seven” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker is not used to working with a co-writer. And yet, when the prospect of working with his friends on a contained, film noir-inspired thriller, it was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.“Windfall” – which is now streaming on Netflix – stars Jesse Plemons and Lily Collins as a wealthy couple who arrive at their vacation home, only to happen upon a stranger in the middle of robbing the place.
Guy Lodge Film CriticA well-heeled young couple arrive for a weekend away at their Ojai country pad, only to find it already occupied by a criminal drifter out to take not just their money, but their happiness too, over the course of a tense, tetchy overnight hostage situation. But our sympathies aren’t directed exactly as you might expect in “Windfall,” a tightly wound sunshine noir that borrows from hardboiled classics like “The Desperate Hours,” while revisiting the kind of chilly, compressed relationship anatomy that director Charlie McDowell essayed in his debut “The One I Love.” Blending the oddball sensibility of McDowell and regular co-writer Justin Lader with the nastier genre smarts of “Se7en” scribe Andrew Kevin Walker, this low-key Netflix holds to its intriguing promise for a crisp 90 minutes, though even its climax is muted by design.
