There’s a specific kind of numbed pain that comes from the isolation that sexual assault and harassment can make one feel. It’s the struggle to not feel like a victim in your own skin, to interreact with the same people you laughed with before, and to not feel totally broken and hopeless in your every day.
That scattered struggle is difficult to resonate on film without drowning in sorrow, but the tonal balance ofis thoughtful, folding in laughs with serious subject matter that never at any point feels manipulative or punishing, but rather relatable and therapeutic. In the SXSW-selcted film, Rachel Sennott is Sam, an au pair by day and a standup comedian at night. She’s hired by a family to take care of Brooke , a twelve-year-old girl whose mother is in the hospital. Between being hired and the present day of the film, Sam is no longer performing standup due to an incident that has left her lost in her own thoughts, shut down and disconnected from the things that used to make her feel like herself.
