Review of Trash Fire

Trash Fire (2016)
1/10
Ran out after a half hour (The horror! the horror!)
14 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Saw this last night at TAD. It came after one of the best, if not the best, films we've ever seen there -- "Under the Shadow". Coming out of "Under the Shadow" we said the next show has a tough act to follow. Oh boy! Should have known we were in trouble when they play the director comments and he mock apologized for the angst we were about to feel at the ending. He should have apologized for the whole thing and we should have left right then and there.

We suffered for the first half hour of mean, nasty and pointless urban couple bickering. Think of the worst couple conversations you've heard on the subway in the course of your life and you get the idea. It was horrible, but not horror (unless you think "Heart of Darkness" where Kurtz sums up the whole African experience for him as "The horror! the horror!").

Anyway, the rating sums it up. 1 star because you can't give 0 stars.
