This Is Bad

About This Movie

This Is Bad has this raw, unvarnished vibe that really pulls you in. It’s about Sheila and Sully, two friends navigating the aftermath of a night out and the weight of their past. The pacing feels languid, almost like you’re existing in their moment of reflection, which makes it resonate. The dialogue has a kind of authenticity that’s hard to find. You can feel the tension in their estranged connection, and the performances are solid—really grounded. There’s minimal use of practical effects, but that’s okay because the emotional depth is what carries the film. It’s distinct for how it tackles friendship and regret without the usual melodrama. It feels very real, very now.
