I saw a comparison to the underrated tv show "It's the End of the F****** World" - I think the two have a lot in common. I think that show did a better job than this movie at being absurd while still maintaining a story arc. That said, the last act of the movie is pretty decent and overall I think it is a good story of two misfits that (kinda) work together.

Hot off my viewing of Snack Shack, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Adam Rehmeier also directed Dinner in America, a movie I'd attempted to watch a few years back but ultimately bailed on because it wasn't hitting me right. I'm very glad (after being blown away by his latest offerings) that I decided to go back. Push through the awkward opening 15 minutes, and you'll be rewarded with a cute, touching, but somehow rebelliously punk rock rom-com that is so off-pitch with it's peers that it feels wholly unique. A whirlwind from start to finish, grungy but also beautiful? It really is in a class and style of it's own, making it so refreshing and impressive. Yeah, Rehmeier is joining the shortlist of directors I'll unconditionally watch going forward. Now to decided if I want to risk this new found adoration by watching The Bunny Game. We shall see.

[Stockholm FF] This relationship between two weird characters is reminiscent of series such as "The end of the f *** ing world". But the construction of situations that are absurd and at the same time critical doesn't work. While Kyle Gallner is a hot-tempered and hilariously dangerous guy, Emily Skeggs' performance is full of histrionic tics. The couple becomes unbalanced, and they do not fit together properly.

Witty, sharp comedy that is worth tucking into.
