A couple moodily stare at each other across a rumpled apartment. He’s a skinny, wispy-bearded writer. She’s ghost-pale, clad in a Breton top and has bangs you can set your watch by. Yup, Between Us is definitely an indie film.
Primarily concerned with the difficult transition from freewheelin’ bohemian twenties to stable, child-having, marrying thirties, writer/director Rafael Palacio Illingworth serves up a slice of life broadly recognizable to… well, let’s be blunt here, the kind of people who watch low-budget indie relationship dramas.
Our unhappy couple is Henry and Dianne (Ben Feldman and Olivia Thirlby). They’re stood right on the border of maturity, yet currently wrapped up in a quasi-poverty daydream lifestyle. As they view a minimalist, sensible apartment out in suburbia, Henry’s paranoias surface in a premonition of his cherished no-consequences bohemian lifestyle vanishing in a puff of Ikea furniture and the distant echo of baby rattles.

Buying a home is a major life decision. It’s nothing, however, compared to the choice Henry (Ben Feldman) and Dianne (Olivia Thirlby) are really contemplating when they opt to finally move out of their rustic bohemian rental near downtown Los Angeles and buy an upscale condo on another, safer side of the city. Contently unmarried, these two thirtysomething artists recognize that jointly signing a mortgage is as big a step, if not a bigger one, than signing any license. It binds them, and not just financially. What they’re facing, six years into a relationship they’ve blissfully avoided thinking too hard about, is the possibility that they’re actually going to spend the rest of their lives together. And that’s a hell of a lot scarier than any bank loan.

Monogamy, in all of its intricate and complex glory, has been the fodder of indie romances for generations – and will continue to do so for generations to come. The practice of committing oneself wholeheartedly to a single person forever is a tradition as old as time, and in Hollywood cinema, we’ve seen storytellers explore the nuances of relationships from practically every angle over the years.
But the romantic drama remains fertile ground for filmmakers, and the latest creator to foster his own story of love and heartbreak is Mexican director Rafael Palacio Illingworth. It’s called Between Us, and orbits around Ben Feldman (Superstore) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno) as a thirty-something couple struggling to maintain that fiery, intoxicating spark that allowed them to fall madly in love in the first place.

"We're just stuck. Afraid of everything..." IFC Films has debuted a trailer for an indie romantic drama titled Between Us, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Between Us is about a couple in a long-term relationship that is threatened by life-changing revelations that come up "over the course of one tumultuous night." Ben Feldman and Olivia Thirlby star as the main couple deciding whether to be married, with the cast including Adam Goldberg, Analeigh Tipton, Betsy Brandt, Scott Haze, Peter Bogdanovich, and Lesley Ann Warren.

“It’s so raw and honest to the relationships and couples, it almost makes you cringe that you can see yourself in it...It’s those little moments that we’ve all been through.” This isn't a quote describing writer-director Rafael Palacio Illingworth’s drama, but it might as well be. Instead, it’s from a character describing the unseen film-within-a-film of Henry (Ben Feldman), who has been with Dianne (Olivia Thirlby) for the better part of a decade. "Between Us," which details the struggles of long-term relationships that begin to atrophy over time, gets intimate with Henry and Dianne in their best and worst times, as they both grapple with how to define their love in the face of internal and external expectations. Henry’s next project is a science-fiction film about time travel, and the movie flirts with the idea of time, stretching and condensing it to explore their relationship in an interesting,...

Every year when attending the Tribeca Film Festival, I wait for one movie to stand out from the rest of the pack. This year, so far that title, without question, is Between Us, a relationship drama/dramedy that hit me pretty hard. This is the sort of festival entry that might never get much further than the fest it plays at, but deserves way better. I don’t know that this will be seen by enough people even at Tribeca to warrant an awards push later on in 2016, but I think it’s more than good enough to be in serious consideration for some independent awards. The film is a drama with occasional funny moments, though it’s a very serious subject. We follow a long term couple as they find themselves confronted by the fact that they’re not kids anymore and the fear that settling down, getting engaged,...
