Lousy Carter 2024

There is a lot to like about this movie. I thought that it did an excellent job portraying what a slacker living a mediocre existence might do if he were to be diagnosed with a terminal illness. The acting is good, the script is good, and - most importantly - it didn't over-stay its welcome. That said.... it was just an ok watch. It is a quality oddball indie movie... I very much wanted to like it more than I did.

Cathartic, theraputic, middle-aged mumblecore. In a reference relevant to no one this feels like the Gen X equivalence of The Adults, but with a much bleaker and more cynical outlook and without a scrap of hope. Deadpan and darkly humourous, I feel I didn't get the full gist of what it was putting down, getting somewhat lost in the folds of it's forever rolling dialogue, but I can't say I didn't enjoy my time with Lousy and his dysfunctional group of estranged friends and odd acquaintances. Oddball indie enjoyers will be more than satiated, most others need not apply.

The hilarity of the banality of mocking the loss of hope. The critics are wrong, again. Clever. Funny. Ironic.
