The Get Together

Omg, the 8/9/10 ratings are ridic shills, this indie film by inexperienced nobody producer/writer/director Will Bakke is a wasted effort, should've been released straight to TV via MTV or VH1 given its throw-away teen/YA emo-drama. This past Covid-tainted year has just been a dumping ground of pathetic, unworthy films and it hasn't stopped yet apparently. Just add this to the increasing pile of rubbish.

Ok, full disclosure, I went in not expecting much and it definitely was a very pleasant surprise. I guess that's how it is with me, the more hype the tougher I am so this was a extremely cool find.

This could be described as the biopic of the millennial. The Get Together attempts to capture modernity without catering to sides any particular ideology. This is indisputably the future of cinema. It is without stardom, without the massive dollars of production houses, and without pandering. There's an honest wandering to the story as an uber driver, a failed musician, and a grad student try to justify their lives in the face of the dying American Dream, and changing norms about adulthood and marriage. Its only shortcoming is that it uses many untrained actors and yet that could also be its highest achievement. Any vague critiques of this film come from the critics inability to appreciate the simplicity of daily life and the cultural moment. 8/10 only because its scope is not large enough to accomplish 10 stars.

I don't write reviews often but these up and coming actors deserve the review! This was entertaining and the acting was great! I can't wait to see more of these people! I especially loved the character of August, she really is all of us, super relatable! 10/10 recommend!

It's pretty rare to find a movie like this one. It is light-hearted, has an intriguing story line and funny. It is also a clean movie, which is about impossible to find these days. There is a perfect amount of romance and drama. The humor is perfect for millennials. I think y'all could have capitalized more on the humor of the avg. Blogger girl.
