Lemon

2017 · 83 min

A squirm-inducing, deadpan study of a sad man's slow unraveling, funny and painful in equal measure.

Overview: Isaac has seen better days. His acting career is tanking, his blind girlfriend of 10 years plans to leave him, and his own family singles him out as a constant disappointment. Even as he takes a chance on new romance, he struggles to define his place in a world that has seemingly turned against him.
How it feels: Melancholic, absurd, cynical and tense. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Isolation, identity, loneliness, family
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
