Rye Lane (2023)
6/10
Quirky angstyness

This film is filled with Wacky characters who act out with cartoonish flair, and at times seem like they're about to break the fourth wall, barely containing their composure during some scenes, keeping the whole thing light and fun.

Ultra-wide lenses warp everything on screen and colourful cinematography hyper-stimulates nicely this odd world presented, as well as reflecting on the two leads headspace ; recounting stories that clearly showcase their insecurities and inferiority complex.

I just wish the style (colours, shot composition) was more tightly focused, as it feels way too much all over the place, but at least always motivated. Also, The characters were fun to follow, tho a bit one-note. Overall, an enjoyable flick with a few hiccups that don't deter the narrative too much. Oh, and the film gets extra cred for being the director's first full length feature, not bad at all! Definitely gonna check out their next project.
