The People Upstairs (2020). 1h 22m

“Amazingly rich, potent, funny, deep, realistic, dynamic script. In each of the characters I managed to see some people I know, and even a bit of myself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI laughed a lot on lines that felt natural and were still hilarious, unlike u0026quot;traditionalu0026quot; Hollywood comedies, where a cliche joke gets shoehorned in every 40 seconds.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVisually the film is a little flat and boring, some a-la-Wes Anderson visual flair would go along way to underline the flair in the script. But it also looks warm and comforting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is top notch, maybe the psychologist looks a bit harder to sell, but luckily I know people who look and act exactly like her, so it wasnu0026#39;t unconvincing for me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall itu0026#39;s the happiest Iu0026#39;ve been with my decision to invest time in watching a film in a while. Definitely a nice combo breaker from the high-budget American schlock Iu0026#39;ve been spoon-fed in the past years.”
