Sad Jokes

About This Movie

So, 'Sad Jokes' is quite the piece. Fabian Stumm dives deep into the complexities of relationships and mental health, right? You've got this director, Joseph, grappling with his turbulent breakup with Marc, all while trying to focus on his new film. It’s layered, with a rawness that feels very real. And then there's Sonya, Pino's mother, facing her own demons. The pacing flows between comedy and drama, sometimes hitting hard and other times lightening the mood with those awkwardly funny moments. It's not over the top, which is nice. The performances? They’re natural, almost like we’re eavesdropping on real-life conversations. It's these honest portrayals that make it distinctive, you know?
