Support the Girls (not a clue what this is )
Over the course of one long day, a frustrated manager tries to keep her breastaurant in line, despite all the cleavage and crass customers.
That is an amusingly crude synopsis for what is one of last year’s best films
Really terrific film though, from the great Andrew Bujalski. Boasts a boss-tier performance from Regina Hall. A funny, lively film about workers in modern America.0 -

Is it just me or have Netflix improved their film content a lot over the last 6 months or so. They seem to be addling a lot more films than they had been before (not necessarily blockbusters buta fair few well reviewed indie films and world cinema). Couple this with a marked improvement in the filsm they're producing themselves (Dolemite/Irishman/Laundromat etc)
Yes and no. They’ve hit a stride in original fare I think it’s fair to say - given Roma was in a class of its own at around this time last year, the likes of The Irishman, Marriage Story and Uncut Gems (last is cheating a bit as they’re distributing here but not in the US) are properly great - I’d rate all of them as among the year’s best. They’re still very uneven when it comes to quality control - I wanted to like Wounds, The King and The Laundromat but I think they’re all deeply frustrating films - but they’re making progress for sure. Question remains whether their spending spree is sustainable!
Still a bit of a crapshoot when it comes to third party fare. Definitely good films pop up reasonably regularly but it’s all a bit inconsistent. I’d still more readily recommend MUBI for cinephiles as they offer a deeper, broader perspective on what modern (and classic) cinema has to offer... but Netflix IMO is in a better place in terms of its catalogue than it was last year. Plus, actually showing their stuff in cinemas is progress 0 -

Hat tip for the recommendation.
Really sweet movie with some great performances, James LeGros can really nail that a$$hole thing. Haley Lu Richardson, Regina Hall, and Shayna McHayle are all excellent in their very different, but equally likeable roles.
I like the way there’s no BS here at the end,It’s an on the nose portrayal of working life. We’re undervalued, overworked and sometimes our bosses can be a$$holes, and as important as we think we are at work, and ‘we’re the glue that holds the place together’, the fact is, everyone is replaceable and nothing really changes when we leave. Sure there’ll be some disruption, but eventually things just move on, but if we’re lucky, we gain some genuine friendships along the way and hopefully learn a thing a two.
Really enjoyed this.
