Director-writer-star triple-threat working in 'enigmatic comedy' — a genre I find more honest than most. Pool-side meltdowns with a vibe that won't explain itself, good.
Enigmatic comedy of failed-interview-into-suburban-pool-chaos has personality, but the page summary doesn't clarify whether the strangeness is purposeful or just untethered.
An enigmatic comedy building from a failed interview into suburban pool-side chaos with a warlock-wannabe neighbor — that drift is exactly the right Eric Wareheim-adjacent register. Brother running a valet service from the lawn is committed weirdness.
