The Leisure Class (2015 TV Movie)
8/10
Certainly not run of the mill

I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

The entire movie made me feel like I was actually present with these people at these locations. As opposed to an overly produced green screen project.

Many scenes had an improvisational feel which made the interactions, dialogue and occasional awkwardness seem very realistic.

I think perhaps people go into it with the wrong attitude or too focussed on the meta.

Just watch it like a hurricane (an intrigant) coming through the lives of these people who are secretly all hanging by a thread.

We get to watch each of them unravel in a different way.

Certainly recommend it if you can appreciate interesting character work with some great absurdist humor. Don't watch it for the plot twists and turns, it's not a mystery or a thriller.

You can watch the scene that starts a little over 9 minutes in between just leonard and william to get a feel for their interactions.

Hope I helped some people give it a chance, it won't be for everyone, especially in the current generation. Don't try to identify with one person so much that you would want to be in their shoes. Think of it more like you're watching a car crash ;)
