Juliet, Naked (2018)
6/10
I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark...
3 January 2020
A famous movie character once said, "A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark."

That's why I liked the fact that cleverly buried just under the gauzy layer of whimsy and oh-so-sweet angst of this film is the story that one of the memorable features of the 'Sandcliff's Summer of '64," a celebration in the seaside town of the film's main characters, is a shark that washed ashore, referenced throughout the film by way of an eye kept in a jar of formaldehyde, and then shown briefly in a background black-and-white picture.

Anyway, Juliet, Naked was at least a little funny and interesting from the aspect of fan obsession versus real life, and I did laugh on occasion. It's too bad that one of the characters had to be such a clod.
