Better Living Through Chemistry

About This Movie

Better Living Through Chemistry dives into the life of a straight-laced pharmacist who finds himself swept up in a chaotic affair with a trophy wife. The film has this offbeat, darkly comedic tone that contrasts nicely with the serious undertones of existential malaise and moral ambiguity. You can really feel the pacing shift as the pharmacist's life spins out of control, mixing drugs and danger in a way that feels both absurd and unsettling. The performances, especially from the leads, bring a compelling energy that keeps you engaged. It's distinct in how it tackles themes of escapism and the fragility of a seemingly mundane life, all while blending in those moments of humor that catch you off guard.
