Ambitious Indie Comedy with a Definite Perspective
31 January 2024
"Amy's 'Eff It List" is an ambitious comedy with lots to say, especially as it cruises along to it's interesting conclusion. Also, this film isn't easily classified, because the are so many concepts presented throughout. But it's mostly about the freedoms one may consider taboo when someone has all the time in the world, but are FAR from taboo when there are only a few days left on this earth. As I watched, I asked myself and my wife about the things we might do if we ever discovered we had an acutely terminal illness. It was with great interest that I discovered there is a HUGE difference in perspective between genders, and this film shows what a woman might consider. Some things were totally apropos, others...not so much. Some of the concepts stick, others are a little more obtuse or perhaps out of place, but this film definitely has its own viewpoint, and if there are any real gripes or misgivings about the broad range of the story, the performances more than make up for that. The film is shot and directed well, and there were good laughs to be had throughout...which to me, makes for a successful comedy. 3 1/2 stars.
