Review of The Puffy Chair (2006) by Pio C — 23 May 2012
A dumbly irritating slice-of-life indie film. If you want things true to life, and you think life is some detestable sack of clumsy, inconsequential, free-floating mistakes, then by all means you'll love The Puffy Chair. I hope you don't.
From its awful hyper-PDA schmooping-&-awwing opening, through uncomfortable confrontations with a lying furniture salesman and with a douchey upholsterer, through one character's loud and ludicrous sudden marriage, the whole thing is some hysterical workout for how-you-ought-to-love opposites -- doomed? reconcilable? terrible? -- between cold reason (keep commitments) and sketchy intuition (took a chance). I do not care for it.
