What is Malcolm and Marie about?
The concept for the film is a simple one: the eponymous couple become embroiled in a huge argument after returning from the premiere of Malcolm's latest movie.
The cause of the initial dispute is Marie's annoyance with Malcolm for forgetting to thank her in his speech, but it quickly spirals into something far greater, with the couple's various long-gestating resentments with each other slowly becoming apparent.
The official synopsis provided by Netflix reads: "A filmmaker and his girlfriend return home following a celebratory movie premiere as he awaits what’s sure to be imminent critical and financial success.
"The evening suddenly takes a turn as revelations about their relationships begin to surface, testing the strength of their love."
Malcolm and Marie cast

Marie is played by Emmy Award-winning Euphoria star Zendaya, whose previous film credits include The Greatest Showman and Spiderman: Homecoming, while Tenet and BlacKkKlansman star John David Washington plays Malcolm.
