Taking any long-term relationship to the next level — to marriage and whatever lies beyond that commitment — is one of the most monumental steps you’ll take in your lifetime. Making a bond to stay by someone’s side for the rest of their lives means reckoning with everything that has been built so far, faults and all, and pressing forward into the unknown. That’s the thematic backdrop of “Between Us,” which follows a young couple who face big questions about the rest of their lives, and today we have the exclusive trailer.

Written and directed by Rafael Palacio Illingworth, led by Olivia Thirlby and Ben Feldman, with Adam Goldberg, Analeigh Tipton, Scott Haze, Peter Bogdanovich, and Lesley Ann Warren in support, the drama follows Henry and Dianne, who’ve been together for six years, but find themselves questioning their union over the course of one night. Here’s the official synopsis:
A long-term relationship threatens to implode over the course of one tumultuous night. After six years together, thirty-something couple Henry (Ben Feldman) and Dianne (Olivia Thirlby) find themselves caught between their fears of commitment and societal pressure to settle down and marry. An impulsive decision and a surprise revelation send each into an emotional tailspin. Heading out into the LA night, both Henry and Dianne encounter strangers — he a free-spirited rocker (Adam Goldberg), she a charming artist (Analeigh Tipton) — who offer the possibility of new romantic thrills. The choices each makes will determine what — if anything — will be left of their relationship come morning. By turns brutally honest and incisively funny, Between Us is a raw, real, and all-too-relatable look at the rocky terrain of 21st century romance.
“Between Us” hits VOD and opens in cinemas on Friday, January 6th.
