I am on Kristen Wiig fever for two weeks now wondering how I haven't got to know her career before and now I make up for all that I have missed out. So I spend my late nights googling out her movies, and watch all of them, a movie on each night.
This was the first movie of her that I have watched and was totally surprised that after all the comical sketches she did back in SNL she had this really powerful dramatic side in her, she is indeed one of her kinds, a fantastic actress. Not to mention with Bill Hader, who also plays usually in comedies brought his dramatic self also, and these two together are just a delight to watch, the chemistry between them works perfectly, they could do anything together and would be an experience to see.
The story is captivating, it depicts the mundane, everyday life of suburbian people with dark comedy and really good laughs mixed with the cold realism of depression and self-hate in general. These are not normal people and the story perfectly reflects on that with its slowly building up narrative. It's a drama, it's a dark comedy, it has... it's real life scent to it all over. As I am getting older I kinda find these independent, more silent dramas more and more important to see, they tell stories that just have the quality of holding up a mirror in front of you, and just... give you some perspective about your own life in general, that are you really doing everything in order to feel... alive and... complete? Because that's the question I have at every Kristen movies each...
I'm glad that I have this Kristen Wiig fever, because these latest weeks were one of the best experiences in my almost totally miserable life at the age of 28 as a young lad spending his last 10 years mostly in fear and passiveness. Just watch all of her movies, you seriously need them, whatever life you have!
