Black Bear
The movie is loosely based on Lawrence Michael Levine's dreams. He wanted to capture some parts of his dreams into the screenplay.,In the second half of the film, Allison (Aubrey Plaza) is sitting in a chair and casually flashes her panties as she repositions her dress. The panties she's wearing are white. Then later on, when she is coming on to Baako (Grantham Coleman) she takes off the same dress and is now wearing black panties. There was no indication of a wardrobe change between these two scenes.,Allison: I figured if, um, I never learn how to cook, then I would never become a housewife.,Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Aubrey Plaza/Natalie Palamides/Kaz Rodriguez (2020),Rather than dig too deep I'll just write that some truly outstanding performances couldn't save this film from stunt-scripting to cover up a really weak idea, just not plot-wise (though a film doesn't need a strong narrative to be good), but nothing worked *but* the acting (this film really was under-edited as well as another really weak point that jumped out. This film had enough juice for a good short, but was even as a feature way too long for whatever pay-off it gives.

The whole thing struck me as really pretentious and derivative. I didn't see anything here original or that I haven't seen done before and much better. Worth a watch if you aren't expecting more than some really great acting and none of the structure required around that to make a decent film.,
