The Stand-Up

About This Movie

So, The Stand-Up is this interesting little piece that revolves around Gabi, who gets stood up on a Tinder date. The real kicker? The dude's been murdered, and she has no clue. There's this dark humor running through it, mixed with elements of suspense that makes the pacing feel a bit erratic, almost like a rollercoaster ride. The performances are well-crafted, especially Gabi's, portraying a range of emotions from betrayal to confusion, which adds richness to the narrative. What really makes it stand out is how it intertwines the mundane with the macabre, exploring themes of trust and the absurdity of modern dating. It's a curious blend that might resonate with those who appreciate a more offbeat storytelling style.

The Stand-Up has been somewhat elusive in terms of availability. I’ve seen it pop up in indie film collections and some online platforms, but it’s not widely circulated, which piques collector interest. There’s a certain charm in its limited release, and having a copy can feel like holding onto a hidden gem from the indie scene. The uniqueness of its premise and execution makes it worth discussing among fellow collectors.
