Stiff Love is an intriguing foray into dark comedy that captures the quirkiness of modern dating. Jane Fonville, our museum taxidermist main character, is relatable in her struggle to balance work and her love life. The film thrives on awkward humor delivered through sharp dialogue and a rather peculiar premise. It’s a slow burn but has this unique pacing that lets the absurdities unfold gradually. Bruce, Jane's date, is both hilariously pretentious and cringe-worthy, making their interactions uncomfortable yet captivating. The practical effects used in the museum scenes add a layer of eerie charm, perfectly complementing the film's offbeat tone. Performances are solid, with Jane’s exasperation echoing through the screen, giving it a distinctive flavor that lingers long after the credits roll.
