Chicago – Currently touring the film festival circuit, the new film “Unfriending” … by writer/director/brothers Brett and Jason Butler … is a pitch black comedy on our weirdly filtered world today. The Canadian filmmakers are veterans of five features, and have been building their reputations since the mid-2000s.
The film centers on Blake (Sean Meldrum) and his girlfriend May (Simone Jetsun), as they host a dinner party for their closest friends, including Blake’s oldest friend, Isaac (Alex Stone). The dinner party is actually a set up for a “life intervention” for Isaac, where the friend group tells him all the reasons he has become a burden to them and society in general, and that he should really just kill himself already. This black comedy is a razor sharp satire on cancel culture and the current me generation in general.
