Plot

Andrew Bujalski returns with a series of short scenes featuring two characters at a time, playing with our perceptions and expectations in a disorienting reality not far removed from our own. A lover's doubt in the harsh light of morning leads to a chain of awkward intimacies—confidants, disruptors, peacemakers, and instigators—each seeking a measure of faith rewarded.

Production

Cinematography

The film was shot remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic using iPhone 12 Pro Max smartphones, with director Andrew Bujalski and cinematographer Matthias Grunsky never physically present on set. Each scene was filmed with actors in separate locations, often thousands of miles apart and weeks or months apart in time, with the two performers never meeting in person. While Bujalski directed the actors from his home in Texas, cinematographer Grunsky instructed the minimal on-location crew via Zoom from Munich, Germany, controlling exposure, focus, and color temperature through the Filmic Pro app. [3]

The production method reflected the film's thematic concerns with isolation and mediated communication. Grunsky embraced the iPhone's technical characteristics—including its deep depth of field, compression artifacts, and noise in low light—as part of the film's aesthetic language rather than attempting to hide the limitations of smartphone cinematography. [4]

This marked the seventh collaboration between Bujalski and Grunsky, continuing their pattern of experimental approaches to camera technology following Computer Chess (2013), which was shot on 1970s video tube cameras.

Release

In June 2022, it was announced that Magnolia Pictures acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film, which premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. [5] The film was then released in theaters and on demand on November 18, 2022. [6]

Reception

The film has a 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 28 reviews. [7] Brett Buckalew of The A.V. Club graded the film a C+. [8] Sheila O’Malley of RogerEbert.com awarded the film two stars out of four. [9] David Ehrlich of IndieWire graded the film a B−. [10] Chris Barsanti of Slant Magazine awarded the film two and a half stars out of four. [2]

John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote as the bottom line: “A largely unsuccessful experiment about struggling to connect.” [1]
