BEANS

About This Movie

So, 'Beans' is this quirky little dramedy by Zoe Boray that really dives into the messiness of post-breakup life. The pacing's a bit off at times, but it gives that sort of awkwardness that mirrors Buddy’s own struggles. The humor is dry, with a tinge of absurdity, which feels fresh amid the more typical rom-com fare. There’s a great use of practical effects, especially in those coffee scenes where Buddy’s brewing becomes a metaphor for his mental state. The performances are genuine, with a rawness that captures the emotional turmoil without veering into melodrama. It’s not your conventional narrative, and that’s what makes it stand out. Definitely worth chatting about with fellow collectors who appreciate offbeat stories.
