Long Black

About This Movie

So, 'Long Black' is this quirky little gem from Alex Barnes-Auld, balancing comedy and drama in a really unique way. It revolves around this guy, desperate to find a bathroom, which, believe it or not, turns into a heartfelt exploration of human dignity and pretentiousness in modern coffee culture. The pacing is pretty tight, with these awkward yet funny interactions that feel real—like, you can almost feel the pressure he’s under. The barista's snobbish attitude really adds to the tension, and it’s interesting how a simple premise can unravel so many layers of character. The performances are spot on, bringing out that uncomfortable humor and genuine emotion seamlessly.
