If you’ve ever had the sense that your daily life could be the script of a story penned by someone who's uncertain about the delicate boundary between the hilariously absurd and the infuriatingly exasperating, then this film is tailor-made for you. Meet Anne, the central character, a skilled juggler trying to balance an uninteresting job, unfulfilling relationships, and a captivating sense of social and familial awkwardness. Along the way, she effortlessly becomes your new best friend! This sharp, brilliantly witty comedy, infused with a biting edge and elements of BDSM, serves as a roadmap for the tumultuous journey of adulthood. It's also a guide for millennials and anyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite belong. Joanna Arnow fearlessly takes on multiple roles as the film's writer, director, and star, injecting her work with a passionate perspective that vividly highlights the uncomfortable, illogical, and surreal aspects of our social construct. The result? The funniest film of the year.
