Preoccupied

About This Movie

So, 'Preoccupied' is a curious little film that mixes comedy with a touch of drama, all set against the chaotic backdrop of the 2011 Occupy Wall Street protests. It follows two investment bankers, Robert and John, who are fed up with the whole scene. The tone fluctuates between lighthearted banter and a more serious exploration of class divisions. It’s got this distinct pacing that captures the awkward tension of the situation. There's a certain rawness to the performances; the actors embody their roles with a kind of frustration that feels genuine. What stands out is its counter-narrative, challenging the protest's ideals with a tongue-in-cheek approach. Not your typical protest film, for sure.
