Sharp Stick

I found it all really gross.

Kristine Froseth has finally learned how to blow (up a pipeline).

It's been a long time since I've seen a movie this awful oml.

Not good but weird enough

Very Fresh, Loved it, Great cast great story.

Why make this movie? waste of good actors

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but i kind of adored the quirkiness of this film.

Expect a story told with heart. Many have said they didn't buy into the characters, but I found I got quickly invested in them. The story and characters were not convuluted, but simply attempting to portray the messy complexity of humans, our relationships, our desires, our attempts to know who we are and find belonging. Don't expect a nice meet-cute, classical hollywood narrative. If you know Dunham's work, you know that's not her style - known for gritty-realism (and surrealism). If you can handle the sometimes uncomfortable and explicit portayal of sexuality then this film is worth the watch. Don't let the critics fool you.

As "Sharp Stick" (2022 release; 86 min) opens, we are introduced to Treina and Sarah Jo, sisters in their 20s living at home with mom. Sarah Jo is 26 and still a virgin. She works as a nanny/housekeeper of sorts and one day she makes a move onto Josh, her employer and a married father... Couple of comments: this is the latest project from writer-producer-director Lena Dunham, who for good measure also stars (as Josh's wife). Even though the movie's premise seems a little unlikely, given the standard of excellence typically exhibited in Dunham's projects, I decided to give this a try. Alas, I shouldn't have. I don't know exactly what happened here, but something went very wrong. Bottom line is that I never bought into any of the characters, least of all Sarah Jo as the 26 yo virgin. And the storyline doesn't feel credible or likely for most of this either. Despite some great acting talent attached to this (including Kristine Froseth. Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jon Bernthal, just to name those, this movie just didn't do anything for me, sorry... "Sharp Stick" bypassed US theaters altogether and went straight to VOD upon its release this past summer. It recently started streaming on Hulu, where I caught it. I can't really recommend this to anyone in good conscience. Of course don't take my word for it, so if you are a fan of Dunham's prior output, I'd suggest you check this out (with lowered expectations), and draw your own conclusion.

Ok but not real world relatable. Doesn't seem to have any context & is rather confusing without direction it's just messy and all over the place.
