Ready

About This Movie

Ready is a curious blend of absurdity and dry humor, centered around the character Wait, played by Trecartin. The film unfolds in a world where the mundane meets the bizarre—Wait’s choice to abandon a traditional career for something he dubs a 'work performance' sets a tone that teeters between satire and introspection. The pacing feels intentionally disjointed, mirroring the characters' struggles with societal norms and expectations, particularly with Y-Ready, who finds herself trapped in her own ambitions. Trecartin’s direction leans heavily on practical effects and unconventional storytelling, creating a unique viewing experience that’s both perplexing and oddly relatable. It’s a distinctive piece that challenges the viewer to think about the definitions of success and fulfillment.
