Sorry, Baby — 3/5
The humor in this movie works. Eva Victor has a millennial idiosyncrasy that is fun to watch. Unfortunately, that humor only really kicks in about 40m in, after a long trudge through some sad shit. Shit, I feel like I had an epiphany about A24's weaponization of cinematography?? Uhhhh maybe — they care more about the framing than communicating the feeling. They care more about looking good than feeling good. A few pinpoint-able directors with strong POVs aside, they know how to arm their teams with the aesthetics of how to make something good, but not how to make it fun—or at least something you want to watch over and over again. They have taste, but still need a someone to bring soul into it.
