Getting to Know You (2020)
So well-done in every way-about how life's most changing events happen in the day-to-day.
So well-done in every way-about how life's most changing events happen in the day-to-day. Wonderfully written and perfectly played. A movie for adults, and both men and women. Not a chick flick. Expressions of genuine friendship among men and maturity amongst women. Sweet, real, uncomplicated but captivating story about the way a few different people interact with one another as they walk though a couple of days of life during a visit to a home town for different reasons for two main characters who meet along the way of their individual reasons for visiting. The things said are what would come out of our own mouths in these encounters-not some overly-wrought scripting even though the feelings and circumstances being dealt with are the stronger ones we deal with in life: a high school reunion-and so much of the garbage that comes with them even though we all secretly go into them with hopes of bedazzlement, and a funeral and house-clearing of a relation. It's not often in a movie that the choices made by the characters are the choices you would make or you would really want someone to make toward you, never over-the-topping it with slapstick to remind you these are characters and not real people. Not here. These are written to be and played to be real people. You just want everything to workout for everyone.
