Review of Duck Butter (2018) by Zoe P — 04 Aug 2018

This movie is pure hyperbole, but I think that's the point. It's not funny like "haha, good jokes and wit." It's funny because at first you think "this is ridiculous" but by the end you relate somehow.

You know what it feels like to have someone who is messy and clingy and dependent and immature. Or maybe you are that person. Or maybe you're the other. Unknowingly leading someone on. Using them for some sort of adventure or physicality that's missing you.

These characters are exaggerations of both sides of an unsuccessful relationship. A ridiculous, exaggerated portrait of how it feels when a relationship falls apart. If you go into the movie expecting a comedy, you will be disappointed.

But if you go into looking for a one night stand or "relationship goals," the movie might hit you how it's supposed to.
