Burn After Reading
“Intelligence is relative.”
ComedyDrama
When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.
VIBE
This film feels like a meticulously constructed Rube Goldberg machine of human idiocy and escalating blunders. It's a cynical, often hilarious, look at self-importance and cluelessness, where every character's misguided ambition only fuels the next absurd, darkly comic disaster. Expect a ride of escalating paranoia and farcical missteps.
