Newly Single

It was well directed for a LA low budget indie but a weak script and extremely unlikable lead character sink this one.

A bold look at relationships, and being single. Solid performances, and a script that feels a bit too real at times, in a good but often difficult way. This movie is not Hollywood traditional, but it's also very well constructed. I would recommend this to anyone who's wanting to be a bit challenged by a film.

Newly Single totally exceeded my expectations. Going in, I thought it would be just another dating movie, but it's so much more. It's a deep dive into what it means to be single in today's world, with all its complexities and awkward moments. The film is brilliantly put together, with scenes that'll make you laugh out loud and others that'll hit you right in the feels. The indie aesthetic of the movie is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual polished films we get. And the way it ends leaves you with so much to think about. It's a film that stays with you, and I can't recommend it enough.

Newly Single intrigues me. It's the kind of movie I could watch again with a friend just to talk about other perspectives. The characters are human to the point you can feel them. The loneliness, but also selfishness, the pain, the hope, and the struggle. Daring acting. Beautiful photography. Dark comedy and hidden criticism. Love it. It left me longing for Newly Single 2.

Newly Single presents an incisive examination of post-modern identity through the lens of romantic disentanglement. The film adeptly captures the zeitgeist of contemporary society, where the self is often defined in relation to others, and independence is both celebrated and feared. The protagonist's quest for self-definition, set against the backdrop of a culture obsessed with personal branding and social media, reflects the paradoxes of modern selfhood.

The director's use of reflexivity, inviting the audience to question the nature of narrative and reality, enhances the film's post-modern sensibility. The film's engagement with themes of performative identity and the curated self offers a critical perspective on the ways in which individuals navigate the complexities of public and private personas. "Newly Single" thus serves as a poignant exploration of the fragmented self in the digital era.
