Stoner
January. 01,2009Four stoners on the verge of adulthood still have some growing to do. Michael, wearing thin his mother's patience and feeling the burden of his own irresponsible behavior, decides to give up on his dream of being a writer and become a respectable member of society -- by selling weed. His roommates and friends (Mark, Dan, and Kirun) all engage in their own idiosyncratic behavior as they navigate the thick haze of college and find themselves confronted with the consequences of their respective (in)actions. In this darkly comic, yet surprisingly sweet and relatable film, these stoners must learn to unrest their development so that they can go higher.
Reviews
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
