About this movie

At a remote lake house, a filmmaker named Allison (Aubrey Plaza) arrives to play house guest to a troubled couple (Abbott and Gadon), who have eschewed their life in the city after inheriting a family retreat. Battling writer's block, Allison sparks a calculated game of desire and jealousy in pursuit of a new work that blurs the boundaries of autobiography and invention. Black Bear explores the complex nature of relationships, gender dynamics, and the erratic nature of love as it traces the conflict between our lust and our longing for internal harmony.

This was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. There was no rhyme or reason between the two ridiculous scenes and there was absolutely no plot involved. A wasted 1 hr 40 minutes of my time and $5.95

I usually like movies that dont appeal to the mainstream audience. I thought this movie was fantastic. If you are into Avengers End Game than most likely you will rate this movie a one star.

Just gotta comment that I think a lot of these reviews came from people looking for a movie about black bear behavior. Smart, cool movie. Great cinematography, too.
