Just got out of a screening of Pascal Plante's new film "Thank You for Posting"
There isn't too much information about it and It hasn't picked up a distributor yet but this movie is surreal, bleak, darkly hilarious, and timely. It's not a horror film like Red Rooms (dark comedy/paranoid mystery) but it has a lot of thematic similarities. Lucas Hedges's performance as a man stuck to his phone and computer screens and obsessed with internet trolling, which he intellectualizes as an artform, is intense and often very funny and brings to mind Elias Koteas in Crash (1996). I also greatly enjoyed Sarah Desjardin as the romantic interest, Algee Smith as a comic relief character, Raffey Cassidy as a quintessential zoomer, and of course a hilarious bit part by Michael Shannon. The cinematography is beautiful and a motorcycle ride through the night set to Angel in the Snow by Elliott Smith utterly floored me. Expect to be hearing about this movie very soon.
