Stealing More Than Ardent Glances

“Locked Down” (2021 - HBO Max) is a film set in the early pandemic in London, where the depressed Paxton (Chiwetel Ejiofor) still has to live with the disappointed Linda (Anne Hathaway) after she ends their long romance.

Separately, over Zooms with a killer cast of friends and coworkers, the trajectories of their crossing stars drag them through fever-maddened course and into the plot of a perfect crime.

Whether you love to listen to Chiwetel talk, or to watch Hathaway evanescence, this sparkling gem written by Steven Kinight will make for an enjoyable movie night - at home, on the couch, forgetting about your pandemic woes as they conquer theirs.
