Super reminiscent of Yorgos Lanthimos films, specifically Dogtooth. That stilted, other worldly, dialogue with a tone that bounces between absurd hilarity and mysterious horror. This is all emphasized by the fantastic performances and dynamic between Liam Aiken and Joe Adler. They really do a great job at portraying that intimate yet slightly awkward relationship between two friends who once we're very close but haven't been in contact for a while. The increasingly unusual goings on during their time together really do keep you wondering where things will end up.
Major props to the production design on this one. There's some really great costume choices and a really great filming location, that being this 60's or 70's era home that looks like it was a passion project by an architect.
It's short (1 hour and 12 minutes) and sweet. If you don't mind some purposeful slowness, this film deserves a watch, especially considering that I haven't heard anybody talking about this.
