On the Exhale

7.5
2017 0 hr 30 min Drama

Starring Tony Award-nominee Marin Ireland, this chilling one-woman show was filmed live at Roundabout Theatre Company’s “Roundabout Underground” black box. When a random act of gun violence tears one woman’s world apart, she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of power lost and, very possibly, regained. Ben Brantley at the New York Times called On the Exhale "Startlingly original! Brave and bold!"

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
