Had to watch this on the youtubes in potato quality which meant it was censored to within an inch of its life (not that you'd see anything anyway beyond the two pixels making up the picture), but I still managed to really enjoy what I saw.
Gillian Jacobs has got a couple of these ultra bleak and raw films in her earlier career and she's fantastic at them, considering she went on to almost exclusively do comedy it's a bit of a shame she seemed to bin off the super serious roles. Oh and Paul Sparks is great in it as usual, the low-key legend.
Everything Gillian Jacobs does feels like it could be an alternate timeline of Britta’s. And I don’t mean for that to sound like her role on Community defines her as an actor but honestly it’s EASY and kinda fun to imagine all the different and reasonable timelines of this character, I’m sure that wasn’t intentional.
For example: Love on Netflix- that’s the most reasonable and humanizing timeline out there. Her role in this movie is the darkest timeline.
I think about this movie all the time...
I don't know why it's so stuck in my head...
this movie was really just fine and i probably wont watch it again. but it made me feel something. most movies dont do that.
great, well I'm fucking depressed now (It made me choke while ugly crying so hard and loved it).
Talk about a gritty film. It’s a downer for sure. There’s nothing super special about it but it does intrigue you just enough to finish it. Main characters do a pretty good acting job.
It’s wildly depressing.
