That was when I started to warm up toMarmalade’s more subversive intentions.
All of a sudden,we’re not inBonnie and Clydeland anymore; we’re inPlot Twist City.
And I think I kind of loved it?!

But as far as that first-time watch goes?
What Is ‘Marmalade’ About?
Baron is also lonely …which is why he’s immediately smitten when Morrone’s Marmalade enters his life.

A sexy, red-haired firebrand who seemswaytoo into Baron, Marmalade immediately entangles herself into Baron’s life.
She’s the girl of his dreams, a role she is wholeheartedly willing to fill.
There are also hundreds of thousands of stolen bank dollars still out there, which entices Otis even more.
Neither of these things plays out like you might expect them to.
So you know what?
I’m just going to stop talking about the movie’s story and start talking about Joe Keery instead.
Marmaladefeels like a good next step afterFargo, as he’s back at the center of the stage here.
For a while, Baron feels like a cartoon character that Keery inhabits with ease.
You really feel bad for the guy once Marmalade starts twisting the hooks she’s got in him.
He also benefits from two good supporting turns.
Morrone delivers loud blasts of sex and sin in equal measure.
Night Shyamalandid withThe Sixth SenseorChristopher McQuarriewithThe Usual Suspects.
It’s also a great-looking movie with a bright and colorful style.
I don’t expect it will take long for him to lock down funding for his second feature.
