Matt and Mara (2024)
Opens September 13 at IFC Center in New York.

When Mara (Deragh Campbell), a young creative writing professor, reunites with Matt (Matt Johnson), a charismatic, free-spirited author from her past, a chance encounter threatens to spin her life in a thrilling new direction. Bonded by their history and shared interests, the two grow closer, while Mara contends with her strained marriage to an experimental musician. When her husband unexpectedly cancels plans to drive Mara to a conference out of town, Matt accompanies her instead and the pressure in their undefined relationship slowly builds.

In his fourth feature film, Canadian director Kazik Radwanski demonstrates his prodigious talent for drawing fully lived-in performances from his actors, crafting with them a modern-day romance filled with humor and heart in which every moment crackles with possibility. Reuniting on screen after Radwanski's Anne at 13,000 ft, Campbell and Johnson build on their meet cute in the previous film and make a strong case for themselves as one of the most dynamic screen couples in contemporary cinema.

    Excellent movie about almost nothing

    This is a wispy drama-comedy-romance movie where there isn't so much as a plot as characters moving around a plot. Much of the dialogue seems semi-improvised, little snippets of what appear to be a much longer conversation. The main characters all seem somewhat unsatisfied with their lives, but at the same time don't take a lot of steps to change that. The ending is similar to the beginning in that we kind of aimlessly drift in and then slowly drift out again without much having been resolved. If none of what I've written sounds promising or describes a 9/10 movie for you, then you probably won't like it. But it's only 80 minutes so I encourage you to give it a try.
