We the Coyotes (2018)

Personal film making about the sprawling hell that is LA

[7/10 · 6 July 2022]

For me the theme of this downbeat film is how truly horrible Los Angeles can be when one sees it. Or lives there. That feeling is captured so brilliantly that the actors take a back seat. At any rate the movie is a slow, artsy, well-acted and believable indie that's worth a look. Contrary to what the mean reviewers say on this site, Jake is the first one to get offered a job on his scruffy charm alone. I guess they had to give it a sort-of upbeat ending after all the misery.
