The Party

The audience experiences a dominant sense of Humor, derived from the film's sharp, satirical wit and the escalating absurdity of the domestic chaos. This is closely followed by Anxiety as festering secrets are revealed, creating palpable tension and discomfort. Anger and Surprise are prominent as characters confront betrayals and unexpected truths. Despite the often-cynical tone, Empathy is felt for the flawed characters caught in their unraveling lives, leading to underlying Sadness and Melancholy as the initial celebratory mood shatters into a 'domestic war-zone'.
