Totally Original

Yes, this film is VERY Millennial, but my big takeaway is that I've never seen a comedy (rom-com?) quite like it before. The actor/filmmaker has a totally unique voice and vision. Hopefully there will be another project after this one, because I'm definitely interested to see another feature from him.

For the people who loved Before Sunrise, After Sunset and so on....

Theres not really a running story but they just talk and talk and talk the whole time and the talking topics are highly interesting and intellectual. If you dont have a problem with that then you will love it.

I've been looking for this angle

Honestly, it's seems pretty unlikely but it's a delight! Very entertaining dialogue that keeps the audience engaged. Funny moments, romantic moments, cringey moments, and thought provoking moments. I think this film does a fantastic job at exploring unconventional relationships. One of the few that do it right.

Boy meets girl. However, he's not just any boy.

Straight Up (2019) was written and directed by James Sweeney.

Director Sweeney plays Todd, who has OCD and many, many phobias. Todd's friends know he's gay, Todd's therapist knows he's gay, and--I think--Todd knows he's gay. The problem is that Todd really doesn't want to be gay.

He wants to be straight, especially after he meets Rory, portrayed by Katie Findlay. They are mutually attracted, and the start to live together. But . . .

Although this was a meant as a comedy, I found it poignant. Meeting the right person, when you're the wrong person, isn't really funny. Funny things happen along the way, but the basic premise is sad.

Sweeney does a good job, especially when you remember that he's directing himself. Katie Findlay is outstanding in her role.

Special acting credit goes to Tracie Thoms as Dr. Larson, Todd's ever-patient therapist.

This film had its New York State premiere at ImageOut, Rochester's great LGBT festival. (Remember that both NYC and Buffalo are larger than Rochester. Having a NYS premiere in Rochester takes special effort by the ImageOut selection committee.)

This is a film that will work on the small screen. Yes--it's set in California with views of the ocean, but it's about people, not scenery.

This movie hasn't had a large distribution. It's only been rated by 30 people. The good news is that those people gave it an extremely high rating of 8.1. I think it's even better than that.

Curiosidades
At one point, multiple distributors were interested in acquiring Straight Up, but none of them would accept the film in its intended aspect ratio of 4:3. James Sweeney was instructed to deliver in 16:9, excise 25 percent of the frame. He refused to give up his creative vision and eventually found a distributor who agreed.

Erros de gravação
Although not impossible, the opening conversation between the Todd and Rory (not a give-away because it is literally the opening of the movie) develops from Rory saying Todd might generally be mistaken for an employee based on his putting things (for instance organizing books) in order.

Todd replied that no, someone mistook him for a Staples employee, asking where the paperweights are, and he wasn't doing anything, just standing there.

Perhaps it is a dig at Staples employees who just stand there, or a play on the fact that he was not doing anything and was asked about paperweights. Yes, there are decorative desk things they sell as 'paperweights' at Staples, but nobody ever went to Staples to buy a paperweight. Inventing some scenario that didn't happen or joking is out of character.
