Greener Grass (12A)
Dir. Jocelyn DeBoer, Dawn Luebbe, US, 2019, 94 mins. Cast. D’Arcy Carden, Mary Holland, Dot-Marie Jones, Jim Cummings.
£4 Discovery Screening on Wednesday 12 February, 6pm
It's a day-glo-colored, bizarro version of suburbia where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers. Soccer moms and best friends Jill and Lisa are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that turns sinister when Lisa begins systematically taking over every aspect of Jill's life - starting with her newborn daughter. Meanwhile, a psycho yoga teacher killer is on the loose, Jill's husband has developed a curious taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. And that's just the beginning. Greener Grass is far from the first comedy to skewer suburbia, but it might be among the most bizarre and surreally distinctive.
