The Souvenir (2019)

The Souvenir: Directed by Joanna Hogg. With Neil Young, Tosin Cole, Jack McMullen, Frankie Wilson. A young film student in the early ’80s becomes romantically involved with a complicated and untrustworthy man.

“I was so genuinely bored while watching this movie that I found myself checking the time on my phone constantly throughout. The movie tries to give you a taste of the everyday life of a young woman in film school who is juggling her work and older boyfriend who happens to be an addict, however it is unbearably dreary and dull. The main character is boring and has no defining personality other than being a pushover film student, and her catering to her manipulative boyfriend does not encourage any sympathy. This movie is basically a vignette of nothing happening.”
