As the world buckles under the pandemic’s weight, Celine, a filmmaker by trade, decides to capture the unraveling threads of her relationship with Jay through her documentary lens. This decision casts a shadow of doubt over Jay, who retaliates by planting hidden cameras around their desert retreat. The resulting footage captures more than either bargained for, intertwining their crisis with the invasive eye of the camera. This spiral of distrust unfolds with a dark comedic edge, enriched by an ensemble of quirky characters who accentuate the film’s eccentric narrative style..
This high concept might be a bit too high for me to watch the whole movie. I got pulled out of the story because the acting is amateurish, and the sound recording, coming as it does from surveillance cameras and cellphones, is so poor that it often sounds like the performers are speaking in the bottom of a well.
But I did get a laugh out of the dialogue in this scene.
