Instead of breaking out the ice cream anddrowning in heartbreak, she chooses cold, calculated revenge.

Theres lots of tension as the narrative progresses, but it doesnt come fromemotional outburstsor anything dramatic.

Its all rooted in the eerie silence thats present before things take a dark turn.

Theres one chilling scene where Leonora calmly tells Christian that she knows everything about his affair.

Shes not a bumbling mess, and neither does she threaten to leave him.

In more ways than one, thats the brilliance ofLoving Adults.

It doesnt rely on the usual love-gone-wrong tropes to push the narrative.

Instead, it portrays love as a double-edged sword where companionship can very well become an obsessive possession overnight.
