So, Roberta (2014) is a little offbeat gem, really. It dives into the life of a housewife who, let's face it, finds herself in this mundane existence. The pacing has a sort of languid feel which mirrors her inner struggle – it's like you're walking alongside her as she grapples with societal norms. The use of amphetamines adds this odd layer of dark humor, a way to spice up her dull life, I suppose. The performances are quite raw; you can sense the frustration and desire for freedom. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the film’s reality. It’s not flashy or over-the-top, but that’s part of its charm. It really makes you think about conformity in a subtle, yet striking way.
