Beeswax

Another Bujalski indie drama where people are doing stuff until they stop, then they do something else. No real plot to speak of. If there is a story, it's about someone who "owns"/works at a vintage-clothing store, and whether or not she will be sued. The movie is incredibly slow, to the point where I kept getting distracted by Lily Alcott videos or hitting pause only to find I was just twenty minutes in, when it felt like an hour. Half of the dialog feels like it was ad libbed. The camera work is fair, though at times just bad. The acting may be the best part, but with mumblecore, it's difficult to tell the difference between bad acting and a more "natural" delivery. I can put up with a lot in movies, but not being bored. Tell a story. Do something. You know? Be mundane, have natural dialog, but do something. I cannot recommend this. Go watch _Frances Ha_ (2012).
