As Tonight You'll Sleep With Me (2022 release from Poland; 93 min.) opens, we are introduced to a family including 2 young girls. The husband isn't particularly nice to his wife Nina. To make matters worse, he decides to take off on a month long solo vacation in Iceland. Meanwhile Janek, Nina's ex-boyfriend from over a decade ago, starts a new job as Nina's assistant at a magazine. No, really! At this time we are 10 minutes into the movie.
Couple of comments: this Polish marriage drama is almost from the get-go predictable. The husband character is more than a little unpleasant. There is little subtlety. Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes From a Marriage" this ain't! Yet not all is lost. Nina is played by leading Polish actress Roma Gasiorowska and she pretty much takes the movie on her shoulders. Alas, it is not sufficient, but it does make watching the movie bearable.
"Tonight You'll Sleep With Me" recently started streaming on Netflix. As I was scrolling through the newly added titles, I stumbled upon this, and decided to give it a shot. If you are in the mood for a Polish marriage drama that is a little too predictable, I'd readily suggest you check it out, and draw your own conclusion.
