Another Jennifer Reeder film exposing the dysfunctional norm

Another Jennifer Reeder film explores the underbelly of the denial of dysfunction that has become the norm of everyone's life. When ripples of incongruities are culled from life and secreted into an abyss where they are left to go unacknowledged,life becomes a bland,foot-dragging bore of a dance,rather than an impulsive jig. This film has an underlying dual tone of subtle humor and painful truth with a David Lynchian essence that will irk those who don't look beyond the film's surface. If you have liked other works by Jennifer Reeder you will be pleased with this film. If you have not seen her other works, or similar works by other artists, you may find the message in the film difficult to extract.
