Twentysomething

About This Movie

Twentysomething is a fascinating dive into the world of a young reporter, Alicia Monet, navigating the cutthroat atmosphere of a national news organization. The film captures the tension of office politics and the complexities of sexual dynamics in a very specific era. It has this raw, almost gritty tone that makes you feel the weight of ambition and the sometimes murky ethical lines crossed in pursuit of success. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the chaotic feel of the newsroom. While the director remains unknown, the performances really stand out, bringing a mix of humor and drama that keeps it engaging. There's a distinct vibe from the late '80s that gives it a certain charm, making it an interesting piece to revisit.

Twentysomething has had a somewhat limited release history, making it a rarity for collectors. Finding it on physical media can be a challenge, with few editions available, primarily on VHS and a smattering of DVD releases. Its scarcity and unique depiction of late '80s newsroom culture have piqued the interest of niche collectors, especially those focusing on under-the-radar comedies from that time.
