C.O.G.

About This Movie

C.O.G. is an interesting blend of comedy and drama that really captures the awkwardness of being out of your comfort zone. The story follows a cocky young man, who's a bit of a stereotype in the beginning, as he ventures into the rural life of Oregon working on an apple farm. It’s not just about the laughs; there's some real depth in how he grapples with his identity and the perspectives of those around him. The pacing is a bit meandering, but it kind of works to illustrate his journey. Performances are raw and engaging, showing a wide range of emotions. It's distinctive in its focus on a gay protagonist in a setting that's not usually explored in this way. Definitely a film that sticks with you, if you’re into character-driven narratives.
