Audience Member Writer/Director Lisa Mikitarian helms the intelligent and wry Spent, a film that marries dark comedy with the look and feel of vintage sentimentality and succeeds with wonderful aplomb. The film's resident old guy is supposed to die from a brain tumor, but he doesn't. Lo and behold, upon his reintegration into society, we find his nest egg has been preemptively "Spent." There's a reason this farcical comedy has a grip of film festival trophies in the case, and it originates with the writing. Mikitarian is unafraid to create whack job characters that sparkle with originality, and their placement within the dark comedy genre illustrates the film's ambition: Dark comedy can be argued as the most precarious of undertakings, as it requires the filmmaker to draw humor from the audience from the very same things they likely find inappropriate and uncomfortable in "real life." Mikitarian boldly embraces this credo and leaves the filmmaking arena with a movie that elicits knowing laughter while prevailing in very big way.
