Black Bear

POSITIVES…

  • Opening features a naturalistic casual conversational banter between Allison and Gabe, that is a good indication of the clever fun this movie's dialogue has to offer.

  • The awkward premise and chemistry that is established between the three lead characters, Allison, Gabe, and Blair, makes this a fascinating drama to watch.

  • Then “Part Two” happens and I'm just smiling from ear to ear.

  • There are some plot turns and reveals that just adds to what makes this movie entertaining.

  • The three lead actors in this are great! Kudos to Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott, and Sarah Gadon.

  • There are social, ideological, institutional, commentaries tossed around in this that are great food for thought.

  • This movie has some nod nod wink winks for filmmakers and those who are interested in the filmmaking process.

NEGATIVES…

  • Has a specific narrative and plot progression that may not be for everyone.

  • There are some jokes that may be a bit too much.

  • Some people may think that the main characters are just not sympathetic enough to care.
