Surviving-ish

About This Movie

Surviving-ish is a quirky little comedy that captures the absurdity of adulthood. Nina's journey through her comedic slump feels real and relatable, laced with a kind of awkward humor that comes off as genuine rather than forced. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, allowing for moments of reflection amid the chaos of her life. The performances are refreshingly honest, with Nina's character being especially well-crafted—her struggles hit home. There's a raw energy to the film, with its indie feel making the practical effects and locations feel lived-in. It’s not your typical coming-of-age story; it feels more like a candid glance at the messiness of growing up, which I think gives it a distinctive charm.
