Recommended for mature audiences, “Exit, Pursued by a Bear” is a smart, dark revenge comedy about a woman named Nan who has decided to teach her abusive husband, Kyle, a lesson. With the help of her friend, Simon, and a stripper named Sweetheart, she tapes her husband to a chair and forces him to watch as they re-enact scenes from their painful past.
