Been So Good captures this raw emotional beat in Jay’s life as she navigates the turbulent waters of former relationships and unfulfilled dreams. The subway setting almost feels claustrophobic, heightening the tension when her ex, now a Broadway star, appears out of the blue. The film’s pacing is intentionally slow, allowing moments of introspection to linger, which complements its themes of envy and the unrelenting pressure of the art world. The performances are very grounded, with a touch of vulnerability that makes you feel for Jay while she grapples with her sense of self-worth. The practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing the emotional over the visual, which lets the story breathe. It’s definitely a film that sticks with you, especially for anyone who’s ever felt like their art goes unrecognized.
Focus on emotional depth and character development.The subway scenes are a unique setting for storytelling.Interesting commentary on the intersection of art and capitalism.
