1/1

The Good - the music, the excellent shots, Lindsey Shaw...and oh my yes, Judd Nelson. The best scene is the end argument with Joan/mom. It's riveting.

The Bad - mayyyybe too much editing, it's very loud

The Ugly - the fornication in the bathtub - you'll know it when you see it and you won't forget it.

I know Judd Nelson has had his ups and downs over the decades, but I love him in New Jack City and The Breakfast Club. I watched this indy film on Amazon Prime because of Nelson and much to my surprise I honestly think this in one of his all time best performances. He's not in it much but he brings such a strength and gravity to the role. No joke. Seriously watch him in this movie, it's incredibly impressive what he does with a mostly silent part (it's not a silent movie, the character is a deeply troubled man of few words). It'd be great to see his talents shine in more movies like this. Cast him!

Lindsey Shaw rules. Liars rule. Judd Nelson rules. Dendrie Taylor rules. 1/1 has many strengths. It's a slow burn, so hang in there during the first 30 minutes. Actually, that was my favorite part, but my wife was like "nahhhhh." But then she loved the rest. Funny enough, overall, she likes 1/1 more than me. I don't get the title. Whatever.

This is a filmmaking masterpiece, shows how you dont need a big budget and a lot of actors to make a great movie. It is so well executed. I loved the usage of text in transitioning the storyline and also the close up shots, which make a great point.

Constructed the way a brain might actually process conflict, trauma, and transition, this film seethes with the dark side of emotion, allowing the viewer to become embroiled in each character's turmoil. The experience is effectively uncomfortable, an ultimately triumphant effort providing insight to perspective outside of one's own while bridging that gap with the familiarity of both feeling stuck and being jarred. Family rifts, mental illness, and the search to understand and accept oneself are intertwined through visual and aural art style unique to the filmmakers, breaking new ground. It is like nothing I've ever seen, and I hope to see much more from this team.
