Strawberry Flavored Plastic (2019)
The Layers within a Charismatic Sociopath
24 May 2019 - 7 out of 22 users found this review helpful.
The fact that filmmaking became a less expensive pursuit in the 2010s has lead to a lot of middling, half-baked movies. Strawberry Flavored Plastic is a great example of a film embracing its resources and delivering on its potential. Colin Bemis didn't write a space opera he couldn't finance or crew adequately; he wrote a character study that allowed for a small group of actors and technicians to flex their talents on an intimate scale. The result is that the viewer walks away having felt for the characters and (I'd be willing to bet) will remember them long after the closing credits.
