Don't Think Twice (2016)

A Realistic Movie for the Next Generation

[9/10 · 29 December 2016]

I'm not one who usually likes an inconclusive ending, but this was an exception. Birbiglia's writing is obviously based off of experience and reality, which makes this movie a fresh breath of air. While the movie focuses around a group of comedians who are very funny when onstage, their lives aren't exactly a laugh, and that's just real life. There were sad moments, sure, but there were also happy moments, and funny moments. I don't understand the need for pure entertainment for an hour and a half. Can't we all just feel something human? If you like movies that are purely separated from reality, this isn't for you, but in my opinion, this movie was real and spoke to me. I was very excited to see this movie and I was more satisfied by the end than I thought I would be. I have recommended this film to everyone and will continue doing so. A real win by Mike Birbiglia and the rest of the cast.
