Review of Bread and Butter (2014) by Office D — 31 Aug 2015
World, I just want you to know...I'm straight!
And this is just the beginning of Amelia in Bread and and her journey from going to 30 year old uber virgin to now being chased by, uh, two "men" who want to win her heart. I'm a guy and while I don't usually watch romantic comedies, I realized I hadn't seen one in a long time and I decided to check this film out.
Hollywood doesn't make these types of films anyone and as an indie lover, I'm glad that the indie world hasn't left it either. Bread and Butter is the type of film that feels like a singular vision when most of the stuff these days feels like film by committee.
What I like about this film is how authentic it feels. Bit not the boring authentic, but the type of authentic where people are saying things you you wish people said. It is people you are entertained by in their heightened mundane reality and the deep deep issues they work with. These days, people are trying to avoid reality. But with Bread and Butter, reality is hitting you like a sloppy dildo right to the face.
I'm a big Moynihan fan. I think he's great on SNL and I think Lapkus is going to blow up. It's a super weird cast but you learn to not only fall in love with them, but you actually feel bad for them when things get real near the end.
Check it out. It's an oasis from all the CGI over provided crap out there. It will make you see reality even when these characters barely can.
