| D | Austin Film Festival 2016 |
This was a common type of film I see at the festival. I’m glad these guys were able to pull everything together and get a film made. And there were actually some good ideas and scenes. But overall, I can’t recommend it. The lead character is pretty much a jerk that I had trouble identifying with. (He was “in love” with his girlfriend, the fifth girl he’d been in love with this year, and then was sad when she came home to find him screwing some other woman and broke up with him. This film was trying to say these are the types of issues millennials are dealing with these days.) Some of the logic was weird. (It would take a whole paragraph to describe the details, but it boils down to him landing the lead role in a famous director’s movie, then moping around as if he didn’t get it. Or thinks he can’t take it because he temporarily offended his best friend? It wasn’t clear, and especially wasn’t clear why he wouldn’t try to keep both.) Bah! Just disappointing.
