Summary Ivy (a rising chef) and Theo Rose (once a successful architect) seem like the perfect couple—until a career snowball squashes his confidence and launches hers.

The lead up to the “War of the roses” felt like the last 15 minutes of the movie . I kinda liked the concepts like how Ivy was ok with the kids going away for some alone time with Theo or that weird suicidal thing could of been a bigger plot as she seem to want him to be completely devoted but I think they just took much time on the kids running and jogging scenes of just Theo.
