REVIEW: With 'Shortcomings,' Randall Park turns a graphic novel about an immature twentysomething into a throwback slacker comedy. It could be this generation's 'High Fidelity.'
And while you can categorize his directing style as something more performance-oriented than stylized, with an emphasis on one or two go-to tricks to goose the comedy and the pathos — he has a way of abruptly cutting away in the middle of a line reading or big moment that ups the absurdity or the tragic aspects — Park has captured the spirit of the book without sanding off the rough edges.
and her performance here, this force of nature should never have to audition for comedic roles again.is pure speculation, but you can’t deny he’s put his soul into bringing his vision of a movie that explores everyday identity politics — but isn’t justCrazy Rich Asians, he’s come to realize that the person he sees reacting to it isn’t a sap or a sucker. She’s just responding to it in her own way. There are some folks who may pull a Ben and take a more cynical view of this film: it’s too familiar, it’s too blunt, it’s either airing too much cultural dirty laundry or not airing nearly enough of it. What it feels like to us is a character study that takes the good, the bad, and the ugly of someone and gives them to you with a series of chasers to ease the burn.
