Modern Life Is Rubbish captures the essence of modern relationships through the lens of music. Set against the backdrop of the digital age, it tells the familiar tale of a couple unraveling as they sort through their shared CDs—only this time, it’s all about the playlists and the playlists they’ll never share again. The film's pacing feels reflective, mirroring the bittersweet nature of breakups. The atmosphere is a mix of nostalgia and the stark reality of moving on. Performances are genuine, almost raw at times, which adds depth to the characters. What stands out is how it plays with themes of identity and how intertwined our lives become with our music. It’s a blend of humor and melancholy that feels very much of its time.
Great for anyone into music-themed narratives.Interesting take on digital vs. physical media in relationships.Captures a specific cultural moment well.
