About This Movie

So, 'Landline' is this neat little slice-of-life from the 90s. It really captures that awkward, yet nostalgic vibe of growing up in Manhattan, which is kinda refreshing. The film dives deep into family dynamics, especially how the teen protagonist, dealing with the discovery of her dad's affair, navigates her own relationships. The pacing feels like a breezy walk through the city, punctuated by moments of humor and genuine drama. The performances are solid, especially the chemistry between the sisters. There's a raw honesty here, with practical effects that feel almost documentary-like at times. It’s not shouting for attention but rather letting the story unfold in a way that feels both relatable and real.
