CFF: Good Posture

GOOD POSTURE | Dir Dolly Wells | UK | 91mins | Comedy/Drama 

In her feature debut, Dolly Wells crafts a contemporary, sharp-witted comedy starring her frequent collaborator Emily Mortimer and talented newcomer, Grace Van Patten. 

Set in current-day Brooklyn, Good Posture is the gentle comedy story of a lazy but charming and beautiful young woman who has got used to using men to make her life easier, but after finally pushing one man too far, is forced to discover that she can live a happier life by taking responsibility for herself and not rely on those around her as easy props. 

Cameos from Jonathan Ames, Martin Amis, and Zadie Smith add a particularly special layer of authenticity to this tale of two women whose eccentricities unexpectedly draw out change and growth in the other. World Premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.
