The Intervention

“What are friends for?”

Ruby (Cobie Smulders) and Peter have been married long enough that everyone around them can see how bad it is, and they are the last to say so. Four couples go away for a weekend together, and for two of them the trip turns out to have a purpose they were never told. Clea DuVall, directing her first feature, gathers the group around a long dinner table, where plates sit half-eaten and nobody is looking at their own spouse.
