Spent

A dark comedy in which lead Connie Lamothe really convinces. It's funny and daring in it's use of black and white footage mixed with colour, but overall it pans out. The underlying topics of management of your finances and women being dependent on their partners' income put a serious sublayer into the comedy, which I personally really like. The cinematography, score and production design are solid, maybe a tiny bit of a shorter edit would have been great. All in all highly recommended!

This movie was definitely different. I loved how they had that 60's to 70's look to it. I thought it had a little bit of the 3 stooges vibe to it. Very quirky with a vintage feel. The acting was very good. Cinematography was good. They did a phenomenal job with probably a small indie budget. Job well done.

So here's the thing about SPENT, either you "get it" or you don't. I'll explain. Remember those friends (or perhaps it was you) who didn'tunderstand what everyone was laughing about with SEINFELD, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE or more recently, perhaps PORTLANDIA? The acting is done in a particular way that goes for a certain type of humor, not a Meryl Streep performance of epic proportions.

People who give this one star, couldn't have seen the sam movie. I thought the cinematography alone was great and definitely a part of my scoring card when it comes to films.

Before posting my review, I wanted to check out what others had to say. There are many who "got it", like I did. I saw one reviewer mention the restaurant scene and how obvious it was that the "rat" wasn't real. I thought to myself "wait, wasn't that the gag?" becuase I actually laughed as it worked its way up the aisle. In the end, I enjoyed this film. It was different and quirky. A good combination.

I appreciate independant film makers but at least get better actors and not a forced script reading. Horrible movie, cutest thing was the girl selling crap everywhere. Her crappy acting was cute.

A really bleak dark comedy about how we handle our finances, unfaithfulness, and marriage. Slightly too long for a comedy but I enjoyed the filmmaker's love of language and fresh take on the material.
