As I sat down to watch the 2022 comedy drama "Never Better", I did so without ever having heard about the movie. I stumbled upon it by random chance, and the movie's synopsis did appeal to me. It seemed like this movie could actually prove to be an interesting watch.
Well, I will say that the 2022 movie "Never Better" from writer and director Julianne Fox actually manages to capture the essence of the way a lot of us were thinking and what we were experiencing while the Covid-19 pandemic was on its highest. So writer and director Julianna Fox did a good job with this movie.
The storyline was well-written, especially since the main character Terese (played by Sofia Bryant) deals with issues that many of us have gone through during this recent worldwide pandemic. So the movie had lots of relatable elements to it, and that is part of what makes "Never Better" all the more enjoyable and realistic to watch.
The acting performances in the movie were good. I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list, but I will say that they did put on good acting performances throughout the course of the movie. It felt very realistic and they came off as being actual people, and that worked well in favor of the movie. It is a movie with a small cast ensemble, but the cast managed to carry the movie quite well.
There are lots of movies out there cashing in on the recent worldwide pandemic, but "Never Better" is actually one that is worth spending time on watching, as it doesn't take the pandemic and turn it into something exaggerated, or turning people into zombies and what not - yeah, there are movies out there where Covid-19 turns people into zombies.
I was genuinely entertained by the movie and felt like I was right there alongside Terese throughout her isolation and quarantine. So thumbs up to writer and director Julianne Fox.
My rating of "Never Better" lands on a six out of ten stars.
