Joanna Arnow's real life parents appear in the movie, playing Ann's parents
Narrative
A mosaic-style comedy following the life of a woman as time passes in her long-term casual BDSM relationship, low-level corporate job, and quarrelsome Jewish family.. I was struck with the idea of this film from the moment I saw the ads for it via the Florida Film Festival.
I was drawn in by the deadpanned comedic chemistry that was equal parts candid as it was daring
Joanna Arnow (the powerhouse whom wrote, directed, and starred in this film) pulls off all blinders to the core themes of this film: sexuality, emotional pining, complacency, honest candor, and a feeling that can only be truly described with the film& #39;s apt title.From beginning to end, we explore only as much of our protagonist Ana's psyche that she allows us to see. Guarded, yet open, her interactions with those around her paint a portrait of indecision and a trajectory of her life that is in a way ambiguous, but also free.
Even so, with this film's gut-punch conclusion, you find yourself deciding what you want for her
The comedic stylings are delivered in a way that isn't over the top, relying of smart dryness and offbeat humor – a refreshing element to a story like this.At this film's core, we are given a person to observe, and not necessary one does applaud or boo. Her choices, relationships, and actions happen in a way that we can empathize with, even if her character who is one in no need of it.
It's hard to accurately describe the emotions I felt during this film
This is a stark reminder that we are not meant to predict or encourage any of her behaviors and hope for any specific outcome, and that what transpired in this story is deeply personal but inevitable and fated.I don't think I' ;ve seen a film like this one, and I don't think I ever will again. It is expertly crafted and full of the quiet vigor of a story begging to be absorbed and understood completely.
