Vanity

About This Movie

So, ‘Vanity’ is an intriguing mix of comedy and drama, though I’d say it leans more towards the dramatic side. The film follows David Miller, who's made the decision to end his life through assisted euthanasia, but things don’t really go as planned. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to that chaotic atmosphere. The performances, especially from Esperanza and Tréplev, bring a rawness that’s pretty captivating. There’s this dark humor that runs through it, making you think about life and death in unexpected ways. It’s not your typical narrative structure, and that’s what sets it apart. Practical effects are minimal, but they’re not really needed here; it’s more about the characters and their journey.
