Shrill

About This Movie

So, 'Shrill' is a comedy that kind of plays with that whole identity crisis theme, right? Joana, the director, is at this really interesting crossroads. She's trying to finish up her documentary about Sandra, who’s this quirky tour guide without any clients on a walking trail that barely gets attention. The pacing is a bit offbeat, which I think adds to this sense of confusion and searching that both characters embody. The film really leans into the awkwardness of their interactions, and you can sense the off-kilter humor. The performances feel raw, almost like you're peeking into a real moment rather than staged scenes. It has this unique vibe that might not sit well with everyone, but it definitely has something to say about finding your place in the world.
