Pool Party '15

If u ever need a reason to not go to LA this is it. Friends with a camera who think theyr artists, but work in bars coz theyr not artists. Lifeless, motionless, heartless. Filming their own lives and it's tragic, and to boot, the worst pool party ever.

With a title like this you might expect a lot of models topless in a pool and drunk sex play, but there's none of that here. This is not a cheap Hollywood production, but an indie movie with real-looking people and lots of dialogue. Yes, beer is consumed and weed is smoked, but it's all convivial and designed to move the story along, such as it is. It's all people in their late 20's who talk little about their jobs, just a little more about their ambitions, and mostly about their friendships. The hostess has a pool and invites her friends over on a Saturday for a pool party. They are all normal looking and look like the baristas, waiters, and office drones you see every day, at least when there's no pandemic. There is no real plot, just friends hanging out at the pool. Dialogue is decent as is the acting.
