izi’s Random Movie Review

Greener Grass, 2019 dir. Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe

This post contains spoilers.

"This movie feels like Gerwig's Barbie but amped up x10 with a lot more to think about."

Greener Grass (2019) was a movie that caught my attention through its brightly colored poster and continued to pique my interest through its black comedy. This absurd and macabre storyline follows a neighborhood of individuals, mainly focusing on the one Jill Davies in her effortless sacrifice to please.

The entire movie sets itself up like a stereotypical role-assigned American movie, but as the storyline continues, clearly objectifies the roles that a character can play. The roles between media-centric men and women are battled roles. The children in this movie seem to harness more understanding of mature comprehension, conversation, and protest to the world around them than the braces-wearing adults who struggle to compete with one another.

Jill has a loving family, but due to the influences and harsh struggles to please the relationships around her, she slowly finds parts of herself being stripped away. The awkward conversations give into why Jill is so weak to give into the demands of those around her without much question. There are lots of confusing dynamics when it comes to intimacy that Jill struggles with, from those with her husband, her son, and her peers and friends (especially that of her friend Lisa Wetbottom). Jill fears the perceptions that others have of her becoming actualized in a less-than-perfect way. To deflect this, she spares the feelings of others and it leads to her feeling more discomforted in her own skin. She has to remember so much about those around her to make sure that she's always watching over her shoulder, that she doesn't even realize the parts of her that she's losing, both in a metaphorical self and when an impersonator comes right from under her nose to take over her life.

This movie feels like Gerwig's Barbie but amped up x10 with a lot more to think about. There are many layers of symbolism that all connect to spell out the competitive nature of their community. Jill falls heavily into the influence of others and it causes her to ruin her own life. At the end of it all, the actualization that she now realizes for herself allows her to see so many things around her that others can't, things that she has been blind about for years. Is there a betterment of life living in ignorance and feeding into competition with others?

Lisa and Jill demonstrate such an interesting relationship between two women. Upon first meeting them, we see Jill give up her new baby to her. Throughout the movie, we watch the two slowly switch places. Jill swapped out due to her submission to others' perception, and Lisa's manipulation of this weakness as she tries to manifest what she has always wanted to appear superior in her community (despite lots of what she flaunts from children, her home, and other parts of her lifestyle being fabricated from lies that no one has challenged or caught on to).

Like any movie I will review, there is always a lot more to analyze. There's more to go deeper into about the relationship Jill and Lisa have, there's more to dive into about the power dynamic children hold over the adults in this story (and how these protests to power lead to such differences in characters between Julian and Bob as children growing up and changing into people). This movie was such an inspiring watch when it comes to symbolic theming through a variety of subtle to direct approaches. The ambiance of this movie was such a refreshing watch, and I think DeBoer and Luebbe have a fantastic experimentation of chemistry together.

8/10

hello lia! do you have any movie recs/show recs (for the ask game thing)

from here

let's ignore that i'm getting to this ask literal DAYS late. but yes, i do:

The Haunting of Hill House cr. Mike Flanagan | limited series

- if you haven't seen this already get on that. literally so devastating, makes me want to pull all my hair out and melt into the floor, but i've still watched it through over eight times... the editing is perfect.

The Haunting of Bly Manor cr. Mike Flanagan | limited series

- another MF production. basically a Phoebe Bridgers song if they gave it a script and cast. "this is a love story" but it's the most heart-wrenching one you've ever heard.

Hell House LLC dir. Stephen Cognetti | feature film

- a found footage baddie! genuinely horrifying though... i felt perpetually anxious for the duration of the runtime and had to do breathing exercises after the final scene. all clowns are evil.

Greener Grass dir. Jocelyn DeBoer, Dawn Luebbe | feature film

- hilarious in a weird way, the entire ensemble acts like they know each other's secrets and are in physical pain because of it. overall, very absurd and a fever dream but one of my recent-ish faves.

Best in Show dir. Christopher Guest | feature film

- slowly fighting its way into my letterboxd top four... i rewatch this so often and it's honestly hysterical. perfect cast, really drives home just how weird dog people are. Jennifer Coolidge and Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) play a lesbian couple with a poodle.

Pussy dir. Renata Gąsiorowska | animated short film

- watched it this morning on Kanopy... i was charmed. only eight minutes long, but the animation is so fun, and very subtly funny.

Girl Blunt dir. Clementine Narcisse | short film

- you can find this on YouTube! very lush, a real-life dollhouse production. for the femmes who hate crusty men and smoke weed.

(follow me on letterboxd for more recs/reviews/lists, i try to keep up-to-date on what i'm watching over there)

LOUSY CARTER (2023)

Starring David Krumholtz, Martin Starr, Olivia Thirlby, Jocelyn DeBoer, Stephen Root, Trieste Kelly Dunn, Macon Blair, Luxy Banner, Andrew Bujalski, Mona Lee Fultz, Randy E. Aguebor, Lee Eddy, Shelby Surdam and Agustus Benchmark the cat.

Screenplay by Bob Byington.

Directed by Bob Byington.

Distributed by Magnolia Pictures. 80 minutes. Not Rated.

Screened at the 2023 Philadelphia Film Festival.

The official tag-line description of the movie Lousy Carter is simply this: “Man-baby Lousy Carter struggles to complete his animated Nabokov adaptation, teaches a graduate seminar on The Great Gatsby, and sleeps with his best friend's wife. He has six months to live.”

It’s not exactly a strong promotional text, and frankly it’s probably not going to draw many people in, and yet it somehow does capture the film’s cynical, self-aware essence – despite the extremely patronizing term “man-baby.” (Yes, Carter is an arrested development case, but even the script acknowledges that he’s more like a moody teenager in a middle-aged body.)

Lousy Carter tells the story of an aging, divorced college literature professor, who is mostly estranged from his family, barely holding on to his job (the book he specializes in has been somewhat canceled in modern society), is just a bit too lecherous around his female students, and has only one friend (and frankly, they don’t seem to like each other all that much).

Once upon a time he produced an acclaimed animated film, and he has been trying, half-heartedly, to come up with a follow-up ever since. He has settled upon the idea of adapting a somewhat obscure novel by Vladimir Nabakov, although he never really got around to reading the letter from the author’s estate that the licensing fee for the book would be way beyond his miniscule budget.

Then, his doctor tells him that he is dying.

Life is kind of tough on Lousy Carter. Of course, he never really had a chance when his mother named him Lousy.

And, frankly, he is more than happy to wallow in his own self-pity. The film basically just watches Carter as he navigates all of the indignities which life piles upon him.

Playing the lead role is TV actor David Krumholtz (Numb3rs), who seems to relish the opportunity to play such a large, complicated role. In fact, much of the cast does come from the TV world, including Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks) as his frenemy, Stephen Root (News Radio) as his psychiatrist and Olivia Thirlby (Goliath) as Lousy’s ex-wife.

They say that there is really a very small difference between tragedy and comedy, and that is particularly true in Lousy’s life. The movie is often surprisingly funny, in a very dark, complicated way.

However, the climax, while certainly a surprise, probably takes things too far.

By the way, Lousy Carter actually is one of the few non-Marvel films that has a post-credits tag scene, so you may want to stick it out to the end.
