Synopsis
Straight Up (2020) — watch online on iFILM. James Sweeney wrote, directed, and stars in this fast-talking indie about Todd, a hyper-articulate twentysomething with OCD whose attempt to settle the question of his sexuality leads somewhere he didn't expect. He meets Rory — Katie Findlay — a sharp, anxious actress who is equally stuck in her own loop. They move in together. No sex. Constant conversation.
The film runs almost like a stage play, with Betsy Brandt and Randall Park in supporting roles. What Sweeney's after is the idea that the labels we build our identities around don't survive contact with someone who actually pays attention. Funny, odd, and more honest than most romantic comedies. Stream Straight Up online on iFILM.
