The best part of reviewing screeners is that I’ve been introduced to so many films that I otherwise would’ve never seen. A lot of the movies I’ve been given access to are unique; they’re independent films that are created from the passion of their cast and crew. With a big summer blockbuster, you pretty much know what you’re getting yourself into. They have to appeal to the largest audience possible. With independent film, you get unique and creative experiences, so much so that some of my favorite movies of the last year are likely ones that most people have never heard of.<\/p>\n

As I try to keep my reviews family-friendly, I will say that this film isn’t aimed towards a family viewing experience. It’s not right out a graphic film, but it covers many topics that some could find a little much. I really appreciated that it wasn’t a “teen comedy” that genre has been done to death. I only use that comparison because if you didn’t know better, you might mistake the synopsis for something other than what it is. “A sex-cult settles in the Catskills to build community and spread knowledge, led by their mystical female founder.” They’re on a mission to heal Mother Earth through pleasure. <\/p>\n

I wasn’t familiar with the film's cast, but there were memorable performances at every turn. I was excited to see where each scene would end up and connected to the majority of the characters without question. A successful movie needs a few essential parts, a believable cast, a well-written script that doesn’t take you out of the moment, and a visual style that matches what the director is trying to express. This checked off all those boxes; it isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking for a thought-provoking comedy that will leave you wanting more once the credits roll (good news, there is a post-credit scene), then this is the film for you! I do have to admit that I’m jealous that I didn’t get to check it out during its premiere in Los Angeles at the Lumiere Music Hall. I feel this film would’ve been amplified by experiencing it with an audience around you.<\/p>\n
