GET A LIFE! - The House of Yes review by Frank Talker™

Spoiler Alert
08/03/2023

Amusing movie about people without the necessary social context nor cultural perspective with which to give their unfulfilling lives meaning, reality or purpose; resulting in the ennui and existential despair which inevitably comes from possessing no deep-seated sense of personal, social nor cultural identity.

Darkly funny and accurate in its depiction of those whom have never been told "No", there is, however, no explanation as to why anybody would place themselves in such a lonely position nor of why it is so hard to break free from the emotional lethargy depicted - this, despite the characters not being so delusional that they cannot actually see how delusional and self-destructive they are.

All of the performers here are excellent and make the best of the not very insightful nor particularly original material here, which is clearly not derived from personal experience.
