Perkins | 2025 | USA

Another in a collection of films I’ll call “curiosities”: films which don’t really tick all of my boxes but which I’m glad somebody made (so we can continue to have nice things). I laughed a fair bit in the early going — mostly at Tatiana Maslany’s irreverent line readings — but eventually actual jokes give way to lines in the vague shape of jokes, and that wore thin after a while.
