Beeswax

"Andrew Bujalski’s (Mutual Appreciation) third feature is a sardonic, minor-key comedy observing 20-something twins Lauren and Jeannie as they (don’t quite) confront romantic relationships and career-path crises. Jeannie co-owns a vintage clothing boutique and is involved in a passive-aggressive tug-of-war with her business partner, while the sporty Lauren is in two minds whether to move on overseas.

Bujalski’s shrewd eye for their wily evasions should have you rolling yours, but there’s an undertow of sympathy that makes his satire sharply affecting too." (New Zealand International Film Festival)
