The Get Together

Omg, the 8/9/10 ratings are ridic shills, this indie film by inexperienced nobody producer/writer/director Will Bakke is a wasted effort, should've been released straight to TV via MTV or VH1 given its throw-away teen/YA emo-drama. This past Covid-tainted year has just been a dumping ground of pathetic, unworthy films and it hasn't stopped yet apparently. Just add this to the increasing pile of rubbish.

Ok, full disclosure, I went in not expecting much and it definitely was a very pleasant surprise. I guess that's how it is with me, the more hype the tougher I am so this was a extremely cool find.

Bakke & Riot Studios first crossed my horizon years ago with their fantastic debut, Believe Me, and I've been dying ever since to see what they came out with next. This film did not disappoint me. In some ways, it's less of a film and more a series of three interconnected "short stories" in visual form. But the three interconnecting vignettes were each equally engaging and kept me invested in the characters and their problems throughout the narrative. Add to that some meaningful themes its grappling with related to coming-of-age and passing from the college life to the adult world, and this was a solid film that I rather enjoyed. Time will tell if it's as memorable as Believe Me, but it's a solid film in its own right.

Whole movie is just boring. Nothing funny about this and nothing interesting. Don't waste your time like I did mine.

I don't write reviews often but these up and coming actors deserve the review! This was entertaining and the acting was great! I can't wait to see more of these people! I especially loved the character of August, she really is all of us, super relatable! 10/10 recommend!
