The Napkin

About This Movie

The Napkin is this understated drama that really digs into the complexity of grief. You've got this neurotic young guy, kind of a mess, grappling with his dad's death while trying to put on a bachelor party for his best friend. It creates this odd mix of humor and sadness that's really relatable in a way. The pacing is a bit erratic, which kind of mirrors his emotional state—sometimes it drags, sometimes it hits hard. The performances are pretty raw, lending a lot of authenticity to the character dynamics. It's distinctive for its focus on everyday moments and how they can become meaningful in times of loss. There’s a certain quietness to it that feels refreshing amidst all the noise.
