Funny, all-too concerned, and a bit stilted by its own characterization. In the reverberation's of A24's Everything Everywhere All At Once, a wake of output to continue their success. On one side sits CIVIL WAR, their bombastic large-scale effort, with effects work to surpass
Everything Everywhere without losing the social-commentary tinge, and then they've got
Problemista and
Tuesday. Whatever that is... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvqyBWCN39o)
Within their 'smaller' 15m budget fare - Problemista iz a sort of twee, sort of quirky tale of the oxymoronic capitalist pressures around us. It works better than the best picture winner, for me, but it's still not a great flick. It apes Being John Malkovich without ever having as much depth as Kaufman's existential annui and persona fracturing.
A fable in urban outfitters pants, without being so annoying.
