How Do You Know Chris? (2020)
Great Aussie film with strong characters
It all starts on tram ride, where young Emi is on her way to the local laundromat. There she meets a man named Chris. The amusing meet-cute leads to him inviting her to his party later that night with several of his friends coming. She agrees to go, quizzically.
Emi arrives at his inner-city Melbourne apartment, and there's around 8-10 people having a drink and chatting in small groups. The little chats reveal that most of Chris' friends don't actually know each other - most of the conversations are in reference to "So, how do you know Chris?".
His connection to each guest is fully revealed...and there's some really surprising backstories.
Eventually Chris makes his entrance....and then makes a toast....and it becomes....
The characters are solid - we can all relate to someone from our own journey that matches each character - the chatty barman, the school sports hero, the geek with a hot missus, the suit-wearing high-achiever, and the girl with great party "energy" are just some.
It all builds to an "ending" which will definitely surprise some. But THIS movie is all about the journey.
