Lemon (2017)
HIDEOUSLY UNDERRATED
I keep seeing terrible reviews for this movie and I have absolutely no idea why. This movie is hilarious!
I chose to watch this movie because it was one of many Michael Cera movies and I'm currently on a Cera spree. I've noticed he's mostly in those avant-garde comedies, and this is exactly that. It's extremely awkward and edgy and the actors nail that perfectly. The movie pulls out a lot of awkward laughs that are perfectly timed. It's also fairly short, so it doesn't seem drawn out.
I usually don't pay too much attention to soundtracks, but this soundtrack is beautiful and amazing. It genuinely contributes to the overall quality of the movie.
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who's into edgy, indie movies and comedy rolled into one.
Person to Person (2017)
Had no expectations, yet this movie met all of them.
I had never even heard of this movie before clicking on it (I've recently fallen in love with Michael Cera and searched his name on Hulu in a desperate attempt to find something other than his more popular films such as Scott Pilgrim VS the World, Superbad, or Juno.). I went into it expecting nothing, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie follows four people in New York City over the course of one day, each facing their own unique trials. The movie is definitely on the edgy-artsy-indie side and has that certain awkward and uncomfortable air around the characters and dialogue. It was interesting throughout the entire film. I was surprised when it ended because I was so captivated that it felt like it just started. You'll never guess what'll happen next.
If you're looking for a happy ending with a complete resolution, this isn't the movie for you. The characters don't really have a complete wrap up and round off except for Benny. It leaves you slightly dissatisfied, but I still enjoyed the movie.
The characters are all extremely lovable and relatable despite how odd and unique they are. The movie was well executed.
