Laggies: Lynn Shelton’s Film Blends a Coming-of-Age Story With a Quarter-Life Crisis
Laggies is a fantastic movie, filled with down-to-earth characters, transcendent themes, and witty comedy

Christophe agrees to be filmed by his roommate Stéphane, while he is searching for a meaningful engineering job. Since he voluntarily resigned his job when he was to be moved to quality control, he does not get unemployment benefits, and goes to classes on how to contest the decision.

"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
Nope succeeds tremendously in dealing with higher concepts in an engaging and highly entertaining manner without sacrificing theme or personality.
"Come Play" was entertaining and had some great ideas about how to scare children away from playing with facial recognition settings.
The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.
