Write When You Get Work (2018)

Write When You Get Work: Directed by Stacy Cochran. With Emily Mortimer, Finn Wittrock, Rachel Keller, Jessica Hecht. A story about money, mischief, love and entitlement, set in New York City. Ruth Duffy is getting by on an assistant’s salary at a pricey school for girls in Manhattan, managing to move beyond the trouble and loss of her teenage years. Jonny Collins is working local jobs near the Throgs Neck Bridge in the Bronx. When they cross paths after years apart, Jonny is as consumed with Ruth as he was in their high school days, and he infiltrates her life for love and profit.

“The story was hard to follow for me but maybe that was because all I could focus on was how it romanticized stalking and harassing your ex. I just found the leading man deeply unlikable and it made it hard to enjoy any of the movie. The cinematography is nice though.”
