Real Life On Screen.
It's the slice-of-life films I adore most, depicting the bitterness of reality in a harsh yet semi-realistic way. Characters flounders, jobs are lost, hearts broken in a ruthless, dismissive, no-nonsense manners. Relationships are destroyed, mended, and eventually dissipate or succeed based on life changes, crossed paths, and/or the inevitable flawed nature of the players involved. We watch our own lives unfold through fictional depictions wondering whether we’ll make the same or different choices, and if our outcome will unfold with as much on-screen appeal as the faces looking back. Enjoy!
