Seeing Meg Stalter tap into a dramatic side we haven’t yet witnessed is thrilling.
fever dream for Tumblr hipsters nostalgic for a forgotten time that wasn’t even a decade ago. And that’s a high compliment. It’s rare to see an indie comedy so sure of itself from the jump, let alone one that’s actually funny. Even when writer Rhianon Jones’ screenplay stretches Cora’s antics a little too thin, viewers remain piqued for whatever shenanigans she might get into next. But it’s Stalter’s brazen conviction that really sells the film.
Turns out, Cora’s a bit more damaged than she’s willing to let on. And though she’s trying to never let anyone see her sweat, her determination to remain cool and collected at all times is visible from miles away. This makes for uproarious sequences when Cora surprises Justine, who is now living with another woman, Riley .
The film occasionally works itself up to a great momentum and stumbles a bit, with extended sequences that find Cora unable to extricate herself from a bad decision after the situation has already been tapped of both its comedic and dramatic potential. But luckily, those brief moments of frustration are accompanied by revelations to explain Cora’s flighty mental state. It’s here where Stalter shines the most. Anyone with an internet connection knows that Stalter is a skilled comic presence.
