feels like the start of what annie baker really solidified in THE FLICK but even so i love this small story—it just meanders along and for a while i wasn't sure how taken in i was by it but the whole "ladder" thing and the turn that follows absolutely nailed me in the gut. just incredibly emotional stuff. again, would kill to see this staged.
**REREAD 10/5/22 -- still absolutely kills me. it's like poetry and i love the simplicity of how the relationships between these people are conveyed, the way you learn about little pieces of them very slowly. gonna direct a scene from this tomorrow for my directing class so read as a lil refresher on the themes/characters/context
