I stumbled upon the 2017 movie "Easy Living" by random chance here in 2024. And with it being a movie that I had never seen, much less actually heard about, of course I opted to check out the movie. I virtually had no idea what I was in for here, as I sat down to watch it. So I suppose that writer and director Adam Keleman had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me with this movie.
The movie is listed as a drama thriller, but I found it to be anything but thrilling. The storyline in the movie, as concocted by writer Adam Keleman, failed to catch my interest. The contents of the storyline just had no appeal to me, and I find no entertainment in watching people perform mundane daily chores and tasks on the screen.
The pacing of the narrative in the movie was so painfully slow, and I have to say that my interest in the movie was waning rapidly as the movie made next to no progress. And 35 minutes into the ordeal, I was good and ready to toss the towel in the ring and give up. I was under the impression that the movie was a mixture of drama and thriller, but there was nothing thrilling about this sluggish narrative. 10 minutes later, I gave up on this dumpster fire of a movie.
I don't think I was familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And despite the fact of having a boring storyline, I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair. But the acting performances had little chance of salvaging the movie, as the storyline was such a massive swing and a miss.
This is definitely not a movie that I will ever return to attempt finish watching, as I wasn't even remotely entertained the first time around trying to suffer through the sluggish narrative.
My rating of writer and director Adam Keleman's 2017 movie "Easy Living" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.
