Taste

About This Movie

Taste (2017) is an interesting slice of L.A. life, where a dinner party morphs into a battleground for aspirations. The host, driven by the dream of becoming a reality star, sets a tense atmosphere that permeates the gathering. There's this underlying unease as the guests, seemingly relaxed, navigate their own hidden agendas. The pacing keeps you on your toes, balancing moments of levity with darker, more existential themes. The performances are a mixed bag, but they capture this raw, almost chaotic energy typical of intimate social gatherings. It’s not flashy, but it has a certain grit that makes it stand out in the realm of indie flicks focusing on ambition and social dynamics.

Taste has had limited availability since its release, with a few screenings at indie film festivals but not much in terms of physical media. The scarcity of the film has piqued collector interest, especially among those who appreciate indie cinema that explores themes of ambition and social intricacies. If you come across it, it’s worth considering for the depth it offers, despite its rough edges.
