The Backslide

About This Movie

So, 'The Backslide' is this quirky little comedy from 2019 that somehow gets under your skin.

The meter maid character is genuinely entertaining, and the fanny pack designer adds a layer of absurdity that's hard to overlook. The pacing has this kind of relaxed, almost slice-of-life vibe, which makes it feel like a breezy afternoon spent with old friends. The performances can be a bit uneven, but that somehow adds to the charm.
