One sentence review – In a world where Child Protective Services doesn’t exist, pretention reigns supreme
The movie centers around a family splitting up, and the people around them. When we first meet the family, the father decides that this occasion needs to have some kind of ceremony because it’s so significant… so he decides to light his hand on fire. He still moves out with his children, which is the first indication that CPS doesn’t exist. These two high-school girls (I’m assuming they are around 15) who live near this family, start flirting with a 30+ year-old man who just moved in. He starts writing sexually explicit descriptions of what he would do to them and what they would do to him. He writes these with a sharpie, on cue-cards, and posts them on the windows of his apartment for all to see.
I could go on and on about all the things I disliked from this movie. The dialog is pretentious, the characters are all unlikable, and you will not be able to take the description of “the back and forth” out of your head. Don’t bother with this garbage.
