Movie Reviews to Annoy and Infuriate 2017-2019 - Chamber Film Reviews, #3

This book is a collection of film reviews that should make for a good starting place to find something less obvious to watch that is off the beaten track. Among them is the following representative review: Adult Life Skills (2016)A quirky 29-year-old woman, living in a shed at the bottom of her mother's garden, struggles to get on with her life after her twin brother dies. This will probably annoy most people with its meandering DIY indie film aesthetics.
You can instinctively tell the makers have seen a lot of under the radar films (and that's long before the characters hold geeky conversations about Stanley Kubrick's boxes which is almost certainly a reference to a little seen TV documentary by Jon Ronson). I really enjoyed this movie and I had no issues with the quirkiness or meandering qualities. It held together as a coherent story and was consistently interesting and entertaining.
About the only thing I disliked was the overuse of clichéd sensitive young men singing acoustic ballads on the soundtrack. This was a good example of an indier than thou sort of film. I liked it. NOTE: I watched the 14 minute short film Emotional Fusebox (2014) this film was based upon. It was good and basically covered most of the same subject matter as the full length film. Expanding it in length did no harm and didn't feel like bloating for its own sake.7 out of 10 (Good)
