Review of Spivak (2018) by Danielle S — 30 May 2018

I didn't know what to think when I started watching this movie.    The set up is so odd - this incredibly depressed, self-loathing writer, Wally Spivak, is essentially kidnapped and taken to Las Vegas against his will - - on Valentine's night!?   And then, in a depressingly empty Valentine's themed Las Vegas dance club, the movie hooked me! In one of the most mesmerizingly beautiful, funny, yet melancholy "meet scenes" I've ever watched, Wally encounters what seems to be an apparition.

    This beautiful soulful blonde woman, Jeanine, timidly invites him to her hotel room.  What follows is one of the craziest, most original love stories I've ever seen (I saw someone on Twitter say it was the most original romantic comedy since There's Something About Mary).

I loved it.
