The Dish & the Spoon
Drama
Two wounded souls commiserate through drinking and aimless wandering while acting out the roles of the happy relationships that elude them in reality. Greta Gerwig and Olly Alexander deliver beautifully-tuned comic performances in their portrayal of young adults learning to cope with the unavoidable perils of emotional dependency.
VIBE
This film feels like a quiet, hazy afternoon spent with friends who understand the ache of being young and adrift. It's a gentle exploration of connection and isolation, wrapped in a cozy, lived-in aesthetic.
