Miguel Arteta’s new provocative comedy tells a story of two girls who decide to spend 24 hours together and experience all stages of romantic relationships during this short period of time. The movie explores a new age of relationships and raises many eternal questions about love, but also some fresh and intriguing ones like “what will happen if you make love every hour of the day?”
What draws special attention to this picture is Alia Shawkat in one of the leading roles. Young actress, who had her breakout after her role in “Arrested Development”, also has a writing credit in “Duck Butter”. Alia — one of those fresh faces in Hollywood whose career is interesting to follow and whose movie projects often appear in my watchlist. For example, a dark comedy tv-series "Search Party" in which Shawkat stars and also is an executive producer. I highly recommend spending a couple of days binging on this extremely addictive hipster thriller if you have not done it yet.
Official theatrical release of “Duck Butter” is scheduled for April 27, a week after its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
And if you don’t mind me asking, who are the young actors and filmmakers who draw your attention?
