Call Waiting

About This Movie

So, 'Call Waiting' is this quirky little film that really dives into the psyche of a guy who's grappling with social anxiety. The entire setup revolves around him trying to place a simple pizza order, but it’s not just about the pizza; it’s a whole metaphor for his deeper struggles. The pacing has this almost agonizing build-up, where every ring of the phone heightens the tension. The performances are raw and relatable, capturing that awkwardness we all feel sometimes. There’s a nice blend of comedy and drama, which keeps it from getting too heavy. Plus, the practical effects—like the phone's ringing sound effects—add this tangible layer to the experience. It’s not about grand statements, but it feels very human.
