Review of Fort Tilden (2014) by Mark C — 14 Aug 2015
Charles Rogers and Sarah-Violet Bliss' debut feature feels like an episode of Broad City dipped in strychnine. Following a comedy of errors involving two twenty-something trust-funded females, Fort Tilden has enough drug use, bare breasts and sex talk to make your mother nervous, but what's most remarkable about the film is how it doesn't ask us to like its characters.
The two leads are both rather repellent (even more so than a Lena Dunham creation), but in doing so it brings up plenty of questions about where Generation Y is headed, and also finds plenty to satirize in a playful sense.
Frequently hilarious, and never predictable, Fort Tilden is a strong debut film, and may even suggest greater things to come from the two young filmmakers.
