A Better You

About This Movie

A Better You has this kind of quirky charm that sneaks up on you. It’s about this hypno-therapist, right, who’s juggling his own midlife crisis while trying to help others with their issues. The pacing of the film feels a bit loose, but it kind of works with the comedy vibe—like you're just hanging out with this guy as he navigates his mess. The performances feel genuine, especially the lead, who brings a vulnerability amidst the awkwardness. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story well, especially during the hypnosis scenes, which have a surreal feel to them. It’s all about self-discovery and how we sometimes need to confront our own demons before we can be there for others, which is a nice touch, I think.
