Biosphere (2023) - Movie Review

Last time we checked in on indie titan Mark Duplass, it was with the softly soul-crushing Paddleton, and his latest production works under a similar premise. Like Paddleton, this is also the story of two best friends dealing with a particularly bleak personal scenario and finding a way to bond during the experience. Only this time, it’s not just the impending death of a single person; it’s the aftermath of the apocalypse. Duplass’ Billy and Sterling K. Brown’s Ray are the last two human beings alive, kept safe and in relative comfort in the titular Biosphere that Ray designed and built.

Hot Mess (2020) - Movie Review



With how much I never managed to get into shows like Girls (or really anything to do with Lena Dunham), and how this ‘indie comedy-drama-romance-thing about twenty-somethings trying to find their place in the world’ mumblecore premise is pretty old hat by this point, I wasn’t really expecting much out of this one at first. And after a weird case of mistaken identity, a fit of inactivity, an expired screener link, and wanting to override missing a FilmInk screening by doing all the work I could in one day (this and the previous two reviews were written concurrently), I found myself sitting down to watch this. And hot damn, am I glad I did.
