Conversations With Friends (2022)

Conversations With Friends is the 2022 limited series adapted from Sally Rooney's novel, tracking a Dublin college student who drifts into an affair with an older married actor. Joe Alwyn plays that actor, and the show's hushed, intimate style keeps circling back to the bedroom. Four scenes here capture that thread, with Alwyn stripped down and tangled up in the affair at the heart of the story. It's a slow-burn built on longing rather than spectacle, but when it pays off, the camera doesn't look away.
