With a Side of Fries

About This Movie

So, 'With a Side of Fries' is this gritty little indie from 2021 that really leans into the dark humor of a crime gone wrong. The pacing is interesting—slow and methodical at first, really building that sense of dread as these two teenage boys dig in this desolate spot. The performances are raw, capturing that blend of nervous energy and youthful foolishness, which feels pretty authentic. It’s not just about the act; it dives into themes of guilt and the weight of decisions made in a moment. The practical effects used for the body and the aftermath are solid, adding to the grounded feel. It’s a unique take on a coming-of-age story, wrapped up in a mystery that keeps you guessing.
