This should be considered as a short film rather than a complete film..
This would have been much more interesting if the movie had come out in 2020.
IN A NUTSHELL:
Three couples who know one another are stuck at home during the beginning of the lockdown. Jonathan, Clarissa, and Paul will see their lives turned upside-down, forced to look at each other and ultimately at themselves. The movie was written and directed by Cecilia Miniucchi.
THINGS I LIKED:
I always get a kick out of Bob Odenkirk. This movie really felt like Radha Mitchell's movie though.
The movie explored how the pandemic forced us to look at ourselves, our relationships, and our life choices.
Because I'm a university professor who taught online during the pandemic, I thought some of the scenes where one of the characters taught school online were entertaining.
It's impressive that all of the actors were assigned the task of filming their own scenes from their mobile devices because the movie was made during the actual quarantine period!
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE:
I didn't really like any of the characters. They all seemed rather selfish and paper-thin. I like Radha Mitchell as an actress, but I couldn't stand her character who was having an affair with a married man and thought the world revolved around her. I couldn't find anyone I wanted to root for.
This would have been much more interesting if the movie had come out in 2020.
I suppose some people think infidelity is charming or funny. It's not. So many of the characters were having affairs.
I don't have much patience with people who say they are bored. There are SO many amazing things to see and do in this world!
TIPS FOR PARENTS:
Lots of sexual situations and conversations. So many affairs.
Kids will be completely bored.
Some profanity, including F-bombs.
