Black Bear (I) (2020)
7/10
deconstructing My Dinner with Aubrey
12 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Filmmaker Allison (Aubrey Plaza) goes on a retreat to a remote cottage owned by bickering pregnant couple Blair (Sarah Gadon) and Gabe (Christopher Abbott). And there's a bear.

I like the My Dinner with Aubrey section of the movie. I like its uncomfortableness. I like the built and then I really like the switch. I like the acting from all three actors and their changeover. I would use a different actor for the fake man of the house. He looks too similar to Gabe which may be the idea but that's a mistake. He needs to look completely different. I would also use more of the conversations from the first section in the second section. They could argue and rewrite some of it on the fly. She should be the writer anyways.
