A LONG POST ROCK MUSIC VIDEO
15 February 2021
1) This had immense potential but was hilariously botched. About 80% of the film is drenched in loud ambient post rock noise which is at odds with eeehats actually happening on-screen. Adding soaring violins don't help when there is a remotely dysfunctional couple barely chatting over it. 2) Horrendously lazy editing with no sense of pacing at all. The scenes could be jumbled and it'll still make no difference. 3) This millenial downer probably needed an established older actor/actress to bring in a sense of maturity. 4) If somehow we fixed the above issues, it could have made a mark. The leads are capable (the guy was good in Jungleland & the girl is a cross between Jessica Alba and Rose Byrne) but even then the mumbling, hypometabolic narration is a drag.
