For its first act, Till Death tries keeping things muted. S.K. Dale directs his cast to deliver lines as if they’re somewhere between whispering and talking; cinematographer Jamie Cairney shoots with the brand of ruby-tinged glossiness that the last decade has really leaned into as a visual shorthand for wealth and privilege; dialogue from screenwriter Jason Carvey funnels us bits of exposition.
Emma (Megan Fox) was collateral damage in a botched robbery 10 years ago. She married Mark (Eoin Macken), a lawyer involved in the case, just over a year later, which went south. She turned to having an affair with one of Mark’s colleagues, Tom (Aml Ameen), but now she’s decided to cut it off. She even turns down plans to see Tom the next day, and when he asks why, she breathes while facing away from him: “‘Cause it’s my anniversary.”

Release Date: July 24 (limited)
Director: Armando Iannucci
Writers: Armando Iannucci, Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Ian Martin and Tony Roche
Starring: James Gandolfini, Tom Hollander, Peter Capaldi, Paul Higgins and Gina McKee
Cinematographer: Jamie Cairney
Studio/Run Time: IFC Films, 106 mins.
In the Loop begins with the British Secretary of State for International Development Simon Foster (Tom Hollander) accidentally stating that war is unforeseeable. What seems like a tautological statement to him, whereby he means that all the future is in fact unforeseeable, ends up misunderstood as an anti-war sentiment. After another of his verbal blunders is interpreted to mean the opposite, he’s quickly dragged into the realm of international politics, where the lives of millions in a possible Middle Eastern war are determined by the name of a committee, whether the time of a meeting can be changed and if a constituent’s wall collapses.
