a solid indie thriller about how student debt can (and probably will) turn you into the Joker.
Mostly liked this! But I think it takes a turn in the second half that sort of fucks with the greater message of desperation and the way that working class people are pushed to the margins in capitalism. Aubrey Plaza's so good here, just so captivating from the very first scene. Absolutely loved the flawless casting of Guy Who Looks Like Barack Obama as the boss who sarcastically tells the freelancer he's abusing to "go call your union rep".
Gaslight student loans. Gatekeep credit card fraud. Girlboss unpaid internships.
We love an angry woman protagonist, we love movies that are secretly about paying rent, we should all commit more “crimes.”
