Party Hard

Party Hard is a fun ride of parties and heavy drinking cocktailed with deep conversations about the future and how one builds their life journey. It's an entertaining modern odyssey with both comedic and introspective moments. Truly enjoyable independent cinema.

When I saw the poster for this movie, I just knew I has to watch it. Such a fun film to watch. As an added bonus it made me homesick for Charleston,

I stumbled upon this indie that popped up as newly free on Prime and honestly it was the refreshing true to life film that I needed right now. In a time when I dearly miss socializing, partying, going to bars, and hanging out with my eccentric friends, Party Hard was able to give me a glimpse of that again. It's a low budget, raw, slice of life style of film, but this all creates the feeling of really being there -- almost like a documentary. If you're looking for an interesting indie comedy/drama, then take a look at Party Hard.

Is this a nostalgic or anti-nostalgic look at those partying days? After going home for a "fresh start," we follow Chandler, who unites with his gang for a night of partying hard. For me, I enjoyed Party Hard for the vibe and tone over significant plot points. It rings of authenticity and captures the spirit of those kinds of nights. Ahh, the twenties. Bring it.

This very simply shot and conceived film is rich in it's fabric. Great, real dialogue spoken by very naturalistic actors. It feels like someone just dropped a camera into these guys lives and followed them around as they binge drink and binge think. A smart film that does what indies do best: take the limitations of a tight budget and turn that into a deep delve into something very human.
