About This Movie

Frameup offers a gritty yet oddly tender look at two lost souls navigating their flawed lives. The chemistry between Ricky, a hapless ex-con, and Beth, a naive waitress, is peculiar and raw, creating this uneasy atmosphere filled with desperation and longing. You can feel the weight of their dreams, especially Beth's infatuation with romance novels that contrast starkly against their bleak reality. The pacing ebbs and flows, capturing the monotony of their lives while also reflecting moments that spark hope amidst chaos. It’s not really about the sex; it's more about two people trying to escape their circumstances. The performances, while not groundbreaking, bring a certain authenticity to their characters. It's a strange little film for those who appreciate the subtleties of flawed relationships.
