Gerwig is the only bright spot in another film by a couple that joys in its abuse, though not to the extent of Frownland. These people should be making shorts, not feature films; what makes scenes of verbal abuse and semi-communication of any more value if they extend indefinitely? You think it's "a laugh"? Maybe as these characters grow up, we'll get 100 minutes of a film of a single scene of a mother belittling a child in every way possible. I don't know where else they can go with this indulgent stuff. “…this is only one that I can imagine someone walking out of for any reason other than boredom, and that’s an accomplishment in and of itself”

So I'm going to seek out that frame in the trailer. I found this to be an interesting review of a film I assume that I’m never going to have the chance to see.
