william w wow..not your usual comedy but certainly worth a watch. Crazy characters to be sure, but writing (and cinematography) were first rate. Lisa Miktarian does a nice job setting up the character of the husband and the priorities we address when facing death. There are also lots of nice touches nested in the movie, such as subtle coffee cup messages! I would say this movie is out there, but also that is worth a watch. I look forward to Lisa's next project Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This unique dark comedy has a vibe all its own, cleverly combining genres and keeping you on your toes throughout. The writing in particular is very strong, the story filled with vibrant and original characters who are brought to life nicely by the very game cast. With a bold and distinctive style, SPENT is a consistently entertaining ride with a surprisingly strong message. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Spent is an original comedy with a unique style and tone. The film manages to be a charming combination of a dark comedy, a farce, and even a film noir. I don't think I've ever seen a film combine genres and styles like this, and the result is a refreshing treat. The premise is great: When the terminal patriarch of the family is miraculously cured, it is perceived as terrible news by the wife and son who have spent lots of his money and made big plans without him. All sorts of scrambling, scheming, and schenanigans ensue that are fun to watch. I don't want to give away too much, but I'd highly recommend checking out Spent if you are looking for a truly original indie comedy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This gem of a film took me for a few genuine surprises and I loved it!! It's a very well made dark comedy- a la Coen brothers-subtle, dark humor, has an excellent cast and the cinematography is great. What I think most impressed me was the comedic performances by the cast. They had to be so subtle yet engaged to make some of the scenes work, AND THEY DID. I was really blown away by this film because it tackles so many things: It's set in the 40's, the comedic style has to be incredibly specific to work, and then the originality of the film: never knew what was going to happen next, as it should be! Highly Recommend!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A dark comedy in which lead Connie Lamothe really convinces. It's funny and daring in it's use of black and white footage mixed with colour, but overall it pans out. The underlying topics of management of your finances and women being dependent on their partners' income put a serious sublayer into the comedy, which I personally really like. The cinematography, score and production design are solid, maybe a tiny bit of a shorter edit would have been great. All in all highly recommended! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very entertaining dark comedy, nice humor and dramatic subtext that reveals how crazy human behavior can be.
