EXTREME FESTIVAL (2023) NYAFF 2023


Woman takes on the task of running a local cultural festival and ends up having everything that can go wrong go wrong.

Mannered comedy of errors requires you to click into it's wave length and it's kind of dislike for it's protagonists. There is a sense that the filmmakers don't particularly like their main characters, which would be fine but I'm not certain they have earned the dislike since when we see them they are already stressed out.

While there are some laughs mostly the humor falls flat having been done better elsewhere. 

While not bad I'm left to ponder why this film was chosen for the festival since it's unremarkable.
