  5 / 10

  A honeymoon in paradise takes an unexpected turn in “I Really Love My Husband,” a sharp, sultry, and darkly comedic drama that explores the thin line between devotion and desire. Directed and co-written by G.G. Hawkins with storytelling from the perspective of Gen Z, the film delivers a heady mix of modern romance and psychological tension that feels relevant and fresh, even if it’s not quite as fleshed out as it could’ve been.
  
  The story follows newlywed Teresa (Madison Lanesey), who, despite marrying the perfect man on paper, finds herself feeling restless amid the postcard-perfect beauty of their tropical getaway. Her husband Drew (Travis Quentin Young) is charming, successful, and everything she thought she wanted. Yet his perfection only magnifies the cracks in their relationship and her desire for something more. Enter the enigmatic expat, Paz (Arta Gee), whose presence shifts the balance of power in unexpected ways. As Teresa seeks an escape from her own disillusionment, she sets off a chain reaction that turns seduction and desire into something far more emotionally dangerous.
  
  What makes the film so compelling is its ability to keep the audience guessing. The film flirts with romance but quickly veers into something more unsettling. The sunny honeymoon setting comes with an undercurrent of unease. This is a story of psychological turmoil and sexual freedom that’s wrapped in a layer of dissatisfaction and risk, and it’s one that may resonate with many.
  
  While I was frustrated by the slow storytelling, I was also excited to see an original voice presenting a different kind of story about the illusions we create about love onscreen.
  
  Would I recommend “I Really Love My Husband” to someone looking for a traditional romance? Probably not. But if you’re in the mood for something modern, provocative, and just a little dangerous, this film delivers.
