Waiting for the Bus

This is a new take on the classic single-setting type of film. I found it to be artsy. The film knows what it is, but still tries to show how to capture performances and reactions. The actors are nearing the same step with the theatre. The speeches are real, but loud, and no one is an incompetent idiot making their way around for a cheap laugh. It hits all the marks of longer shots of isolation followed with quick cuts of actions.

The cast is from all walks of life but their performances are all Oscar-worthy. There's the straight man, the random sexual deviant, the holier than thou Gen Z with her attitude, the conspiracy theorist, the oddball loud guy, the woman that won't get off her phone. They all arrive and that's where the fun begins.

It's a satire, a mystery disguised as a black comedy. I'm glad I watched it and recommend it.
