Review of Cora Bora

Cora Bora (2023)
6/10
A decent portrait of an unlikable person
9 June 2024
Cora left her girlfriend Justine in Portland Oregon, to go to L. A. to pursue her music career, while calling for an open relationship. (Early on, the has sex with a man she just met.) She decides to go home, and finds that Justine is living with a new girlfriend Riley. Cora's parents show up to celebrate Riley's birthday (the betrayal!). Cora takes their dog for a walk and loses it, and more chaos ensues. This includes going to an out-of-town pansexual orgy with strangers, to try to cheer herself up.

Cora is self-centered and self-obsessed. Her songs reflect that obsession. On the flight, she just plunks herself into a 1st-class seat, asks for a whole bottle of champagne, then refuses to show her ticket. Overall, she is plain unlikeable, and a late reveal of an earlier tragedy is too late for me to give her much sympathy.
