The title alone is a flex. A drive-thru proposal, one drone take, and corporate rewards points as the third wheel — this is the kind of formal idiocy I respect.
A single continuous aerial drone take of a McDonald's drive-thru proposal sabotaged by a rewards-program evangelist — Roy Andersson's god's-eye remove plus Fielder's brand-anxiety surrealism. The form is impossibly correct.
Single continuous aerial drone shot staging a McDonald's drive-thru proposal sabotaged by a rewards-program evangelist on a scooter — the formal feat IS the comedy structure. Roy Andersson's god's-eye remove applied to American brand anxiety is a beautifully specific reach.
Reviews
A filmic feat that meets sketch comedy, capturing a couple's pathetic romance alongside Joey's earnest persistence, shot in a single aerial drone take.
