9/6/2023 0 Comments Melt with youThese four guys, meeting together for a week long getaway to gorgeous Big Sur, are manically stoked to be together and appear outwardly happy in their revelry. Everyone, rich or poor, healthy or terminal, is going through their own private hell in some way, shape or form. It's easy to look at the four wealthy, healthy main characters and scoff at the idea that they are in any kind of turmoil or crisis, and patronize them for going to the staggering lengths of excess portrayed in this film. I Melt With You is an easy film to dismiss as crass, unnecessary nihilism. Definitely not boring tho and definitely not a "chick flick". If you do, the movie becomes a warning or a dark fantasy or something else. if you don't, the movie might seem awfully self indulgent. You might see some of yourself in the characters- and you might not. Depending on how you look at the movie you might consider it a psych study on a group dynamic amongst males over time. It tells a story, the acting is good, the movie making is good, there are a few parts that are not completely clear- I'm not sure if that is writing or editing or directing. I don't usually write reviews but I felt like there was too much hate for this movie out there. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing tho- people make movies for certain audiences all the time. If you don't fall into this demographic you probably are not going to dig this movie. I think it's pretty safe to say that the target market for this movie is over 40 and male (I might throw 'white' in there as well but I'm not sure about that).
