Featured review
About as funny as 'Requiem for a Dream.' Includes boderline non-consensual sex scene, and brutal violence
A helpful warning for anyone finding this in the "Comedy" section of a streaming service like I did.
As a drama, this is movie has a lot of promise, and a strong directorial debut, but I'd definitely consider it a drama with comedic moments, and not a comedy. Overall this is about as comedic as Requiem for a Dream, with a similar descent into the personal hell of the characters that never turns around.
Without giving spoilers, I wanted to include that one of the sex scenes contains graphic non-consensual moments, with the woman visibly upset. I'm leaving this as a very generic description so people can know what they're getting into when watching this movie.
I love movies with dark material, and don't want to dissuade anyone from watching this, I just want to put a warning out there in the reviews for anyone coming into this expecting it to be a comedy, so people know what they're getting into.
