I know, it's a lousy poster but it's the only one I could find that wasn't huge.This won Best Live Action Short and I really don't get why. It just didn't appeal to me in any way.
Alli (Maria Dizzia) and Jacob (Greg Keller) are normal, middle-aged adults who care about each other and raise their three children together. But when they notice their across-the-street neighbors having sex one day, light voyeurism turns into full-fledged envy.
I guess because I just legitimately do not care about what other people do, this made no sense to me. I found it really creepy, to be honest. Like, right up there with stalking. If you buy binoculars to watch your neighbors, you are gross. Full stop. Man, woman, I don't care. Leave people alone and stop projecting your insecurities. But, of course, that's not the takeaway from this film because **SPOILERS FOLLOW** the hot neighbor tells Alli that she and her husband used to watch them too while he was dying of cancer and it brought them comfort.**END SPOILERS** Which, blah blah blah, we're all connected, no man is an island, sure. But also ew. Close your fucking curtains.
