About This Movie

Getting Stoned with Alex Karpovsky is a curious little documentary that leans into a laid-back conversational vibe. The film unfolds almost like an intimate chat between friends, with Caveh Zahedi and Karpovsky sharing candid, stoned musings that touch on creativity, life, and the absurdities of existence. The pacing feels organic, a blend of meandering thoughts and bursts of insight, which gives it a unique rhythm. There's a certain rawness to the film, capturing moments of genuine laughter and awkward silences.
