Viral Beauty (2018)
This movie will surprise you
This movie will surprise you. I went to a festival in New York recently with a friend of a friend who knows the director of this film, and I was actually really surprised at how much I liked it. I was surprised mainly because it was super late, like 10:40 screening or something, and I was planning on sleeping because I was just there to support my friend. But then once it started it has a way of just literally consuming you into its world. There are a lot of cuts and screens and fast action and comedy and the main actress Casey Killoran is hilarious and natural and really charismatic on screen. And then the romance between the main girl and the guy had so many interesting nuances it literally felt like I was watching an addictive reality TV show. The characters were sharp, funny, and there's a scene where the main girl does something that was so crazy I can't even go into it here, but it was amazing to watch.
Seriously, I usually don't like comedies, but this one surprised me at how good indie filmmaking can be.
