Not reviewing Not Friends (2023) NYAFF 2024 Fantasia 2024


This film didn't  work for me. The story of a bunch of high school kids who make a film about their dead friend, egged on by a transfer student who didn't know him, didn't work for me. 

The reason it didn't work is that I never connected to the humor. I could see the jokes but they never made me laugh. The same thing about the touching moments, I know I was supposed to feel something but instead I felt like I was eating treacle.

(I won't go into the echoes of Dr Evan Hansen)

I know this worked for some people, but for me it was along 129 minutes.
