I was lucky enough to attend the premier of this film in Los Angeles to which it received a standing ovation.
This is a film for filmmakers and a wonderful debut for director Dakota Gorman as well as lead actress Emma Deckers.
The traditional storyline takes a backseat in this film as we experience a slice of life of three young women in their twenties and the very real relationships and problems facing a generation.
Typically, stories in this age range do not tend to play out in cinema as mainstream films center their stories around highschoolers or action heroes ageing from thirty and up, neglecting a very real and raw demographic in modern society. As a member of the twenty-something club, I was delighted to see this representation on the screen.
The moment to moment dialogue in this film is its strongest feature. As the witticism and quick verbal duels hold your attention and pay off in big laughs. The relationship between the three lead women is real, raw, truly touching and heartfelt at times in between the comedic moments
At its core, this is a film shedding the light on more than one of the many taboos in which we dance around in modern society. A film told through the lens of young people whose opinions matter, as they will be the ones to pass judgement on these issues as we move into the future.
All in all, a thought provoking and tantalising dark comedy well worth a watch!
