Review of Good Posture

Good Posture (2019)
6/10
we know it can't end well
6 January 2022
Written and directed by Dolly Wells, her only directing job so far. Stars Grace van Patten, of the many van Pattens, as Lilian, living in brooklyn. She has moved in with a couple, friends of her parentals. The husband is sweet, but the wife Julia is famous writer, and just rude. Out of boredom, or maybe to impress friends, she starts writing about Julia. Without her knowledge. This can't end well. Clearly the wife does not like Lilian, and I'm not sure why they even agreed to take her in. To be fair, Lilian is pretty selfish, and uses people's things without asking. It's so awkward, Lilian and Julia start writing to each other, for communication, since Julia stays locked up in her room. In one sense, the film is about Lilian, since the camera follows her around; but since they are trying to make a documentary on Julia, she's the star in absentia.. they spend most of the film talking about her ( Emily Mortimer... was Jane Banks in the Mary Poppins sequel). Kind of a study of people.
