Retrograde is a perfectly constructed comedy that gets you invested pretty quickly, and promises to irritate you in the most satisfying ways possible. It's so simple, yet it takes a feat to make something feel that way. Murray finds moments of hope and frustration that are so much more than the traffic violation at the center of Molly's world, and creates a slow-building itch that gets you dying to scratch it. This film is so funny, so 20-something desperately trying to do the right thing, and so relatable - in the most innocent sense of the word. You get it, every moment, especially if you've ever dealt with bureaucracy. The performance by Molly and the cast are so convincing that it takes a second to remember that this not your own real-life memories. A perfectly paced and constructed film, not to be missed, and a genuinely fun experience that leaves you eagerly waiting for the next thing to happen. Even when the frame is completely still and everyone around her is ridiculously disappointing, Molly is still fighting for that one ever-elusive victory, no matter how meaningless it reallly is. 100% would watch again.
