305 days, 305 films- The New Twenty

Unlike my “Go See It” category this is going to be a much shorter version of my reviews. There are 305 days left of this year. I will attempt to write a mini review of 305 films that you should see. Who said it’s ever too late clearly is unaware of my existence.

Film #1 The New Twenty.

I enjoyed The New Twenty for many reasons. One of them being that it’s a film about not having things figured out when you’re thirty. I feel like we live in a time where we are bombarded by the idea that we need to keep working for this near perfect life that society dictates for us with out giving any thought to what we really want to do in life. These people are 30 and think they have it together but in reality they are just as “new” as they were when they left college. It’s also very relate-able in the way that you think “I could see this happening to me and it’s very fucked up but I can’t help but laugh at the whole thing”.  I was discussing with a friend earlier today that I never considered “Shortbus” a gay genre film and she said that she always thought it’s a “pansexual” genre. Piggybacking on that conversation I’m going to call The New Twenty a pansexual genre film.

It’s on Netflix and most likely your local video rental store. Tomorrow film #2.
