Our Brower - A Dining Hall Autopsy dives into the peculiar nostalgia surrounding Brower Commons at Rutgers. The film captures this almost love-hate relationship students had with the dining hall, weaving interviews and personal stories into a tapestry of memories. The pacing feels almost like a slow burn, allowing viewers to stew in the atmosphere of loss, frustration, and ultimately, acceptance. There's a rawness to the practical effects used—like recreations of the infamous food that had students groaning. The director, though unknown, manages to elicit genuine performances from the alumni, who reflect on their college days with a mix of humor and regret. It's a quirky exploration of how a place can haunt us even after it's gone.
