Easier With Practice (2009)

Easier With Practice
2009
Dir. Kyle Patrick Alvarez

Independent movies aren't usually my thing. I know how general a statement that is but when you talk about Independent Film as a genre, there is a template that comes to mind and "Easier With Practice" fits perfectly inside that template.
Anyways, I liked the movie. The quiet, contemplating tone (something that lasts for the duration) forces you to wallow in the awkwardness of the movie, and given the movies plot, there's a lot of it.
The movie hinges on a handful of one on one scenes between the main character and various people in his life. For the most part, theses scenes are played very well and as such, were the only thing keeping me from pausing the movie and stepping back from the (using this word to many times) awkwardness of it.
I guess the movie needs to be processed. Frankly, it's a small, short movie but it's very understated and there's a lot to think about here.




Apologies if I rambled
