Toby is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that captures the subtle complexities of human relationships. Set in a cozy British home, the film unfolds in a single act, which gives it an almost theatrical feel. Gerty and Matthew, portrayed with a charming yet unsettling dynamic, are anything but the average couple. Gerty's lust for vengeance adds a layer of dark humor, and the tension builds beautifully in their conversation with young neighbor Rodney. The performances are quite striking; there's this palpable underlying tension throughout. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence to linger, which only enhances the atmosphere. It’s a unique take on old age, regret, and the masks we wear in front of others.
