Jay Alvarez’s sophomore feature Something’s More Than One Thing tackles the unraveling relationship between Caitlin and Dylan as they seek advice from unexpected corners. Alvarez directs with a sensitive touch, exploring how digital connections can complicate real-world bonds.
Caitlin and Dylan have been together for some time in Los Angeles. She works as a waitress while pursuing acting as an aspiring filmmaker. Things are shaken when Dylan admits to an impulsive one-night stand. As they struggle to find footing again, each turns to the internet in search of clarity.
What they find online are not straightforward answers but fragmented perspectives that reflect our polarized modern discourse. Dylan delves into male-centered forums advocating separation. There, angry voices drown out nuance. Meanwhile, Caitlin hears mostly from hurt women questioning their own self-worth.
Alvarez crafts the online commenters into living presences through creative casting. A stream of vocal personalities assaults us, from shrill to soothing.
