Standout Aspects

Writing

Darkly funny dialogue that doesn't let Ken off easy.

Acting

Goldstein commits fully to making Ken repulsive yet watchable.

Best for:Solo: So you can cringe in private without judgment.·Streaming: Low-budget indie that doesn't need a big screen.·Rewatch: Catch how Ken's lies unravel on second viewing.
Heads up:Triggers: Eating disorder behaviors, body image discussions, group therapy scenes.·Sexual Content: Predatory pursuit of vulnerable women played for uncomfortable comedy.
