Glass Casa

Fun movie with a playful tone. I thought the lead woman had some nice chops, and the dialogue is sharp and well directed. Story was ultimately a bit meaningless, and lacked a cohesive theme. But there were some interesting psychological undertones, and I was genuinely compelled.

Cinematography is lovely. It looks slick, and the lighting is top notch. Some of the acting crossed the line from campy to cringe. But I believed the chemistry between the characters, and everybody was having so much fun that I went along for the ride anyway.

I'll be interested to see what this director does in the future. She clearly had a lot of fun putting this film together.

Glass Casa is a wild ride that will leave you gasping for air with its hilarious absurdity and leave you on the edge of your seat with its unpredictable twists and turns. This thriller-comedy masterfully blends humor and suspense, creating a unique and unforgettable cinematic experience. The dialogue crackles with witty banter and unexpected turns of phrase, while beneath the surface of the humor lies a surprisingly poignant exploration of the human condition. The film boasts a stellar cast, each actor bringing a unique and compelling presence to their role. The backdrop/ architecture of glass casa is stunning.

This movie from an up-and-coming director is outright fun. The jokes are smart, without having to think them through. Don't be put off by the shaky filming at the beginning of the movie, it's because the characters are just recording themselves with their phones. Though I would need to rewatch this movie (which I watched for the first time over a year ago) to give this review more details, I remember laughing out loud while also gripping the edge of my seat from the suspense and plot twists! A must watch mystery flick, even just to admire the cool architecture of the glass casa itself. Congratulations Laa!

Love a good dark comedy and this one did not disappoint. An engaging murder mystery with a fun cast of characters. Very relatable and thoughtfully curated to create an ensemble where everyone will have a few favorites. The story kept me on the edge of my seat through the end. Just as you expect things to go a certain way you are hit with an unexpected twist. Along with the mystery there were many ridiculous moments that had me laughing. Overall it was a fun movie I enjoyed with my husband. Which says a lot because we don't always agree - this is one of those films that all will have a good time watching.

A delightfully absurd indie thriller-comedy that leans into clichés with lots of charm. Quirky and entertaining. SoCal vibes galore. Each character brought much color to the movie and the plot was engaging and funny. I was entertained the whole time and the movie went fast even though it's almost 2 hours long. Watch this movie, it's quirky silly fun!

PS: Glass Casa proves that indie films can stand on their own feet. Movie creator Laa Marcus pulled off something pretty magical. I went to the movie premiere and listened to the Q&A afterwards which gave me a deeper appreciation for the passion and talent it took. This movie easily stands with movies with significantly bigger budgets!
