The Weirdness that is 'Severance'
Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities.
Conceive This!
The successful power couple, Ingrid and Kristian, meet up with their suburban friends, Pernille and Thomas, for what appears to be an uneventful couples' dinner. But it turns out to be anything but uneventful when Pernille and Thomas ask Kristian if he would be the sperm donor for their child. However, money is tight, and their attempts within the public health care system have been exhausted, so the donation must happen the old-fashioned way. Not everyone is entirely on board with this method, and from there, the evening takes a wild detour into a swamp of chaos.
