Fort Tilden

Two neurotic, millennial females, from NY. The self-absorbed art scene. Pretty sad actually. Empty group of people with no actual talent, but they are all too fragile to tell each other that the aren't any good.

It's a good movie. Coffee scene alone is worth it. You won't be bummed that you spent time watching it. What more do you want? Okay, so IMDb wants five lines of text or they won't publish my review. I watched it twice to catch certain lines and nuances. Just watch it. It's good. Okay, they need another line of text...

Throwing in my two cents about Fort Tilden. The acting and the cinematography is well done but as to the story, that is another matter.

Pretty sure some will find it amusing and I would hazard to guess some would find it offensive or a parody of a slice of the generation.

It was a hard watch for me but around 1 hour and 6 minutes it hit the core of what I thought it was about and the last 10 minutes further solidified what I though it was supposed to be about.

It doesn't have to be just millennials that the lesson of the movie applies to but anyone who ends up being so out of touch with the realities of life due to their upbringing.

This is one of those festival movies that people like...because they see it at a festival. Let's face it, a lot of bad movies get good reviews at festivals. But once they are released into the real world, their flaws are exposed.

This isn't really a terrible movie, it just isn't very good. It certainly isn't memorable. Once it is over, it is easily forgotten.

The problem is that the two main characters are stereotypes. There is little to no character development or depth to them. In a way, that is the point. But still, they aren't interesting. Nor is the supposedly comedic journey they go on. I didn't crack a smile at anything they did or happened to them. I just didn't care about the two girls.

I hate to use this word, because it is overused, and because it is often used to disguise a lack of ability to express oneself with any depth. But in the spirit of the people in the movie, I would say, "Meh".

Reading other people's reviews of the film I can clearly see this movie isn't for everyone. But it was absolutely a movie for me!

The film is about two recent grads: best friends and roommates Harper and Allie. Meeting two cute guys at a performance neither of one want to be at they make loose plans to meet up with the guys at Fort Tilden the following day where they plan to hook up with them. The following day they set off on their bikes and of course everything that could go wrong does go wrong.

Let's get one thing straight: the women are straight up selfish, egotistical, a**holes. Behind their cutesy faux-kind personalities they snipe at one another and others and the more their plans go awry the more their facade drops. They are anti-heroines in the vein of Charlize Theron's Mavis in 'Young Adult'. If you liked that movie, you'll love this one.
