Black Bear review: a slippery meta-movie

Black Bear is released on digital platforms from 23 April. Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon inhabit a number of roles in Lawrence Michael Levine’s meta black comedy, in which the pressures of the indie filmmaking business, creativity and the art of performance collide in explosive fashion. The film is divided neatly in two, and as the second half begins the actors change roles, resulting in a shift in power dynamics that interrogates desire, gender and ethics. Add to that the fact that certain players are flagrantly deceitful, and it’s a film designed to keep viewers on their toes. The unpredictable nature of the characters makes it uncomfortable to watch; as they prod at insecurities and anxieties, the suspense and sexual tension bubble to boiling point.

Film Of The Week Black Bear | Morning Star

  ACTOR-TURNED-DIRECTOR Lawrence Michael Levine takes a deep and fascinating dive into the creative process of writing and filmmaking in this bizarre, dreamlike drama which fuses realism with surrealism. Set against the backdrop of a gorgeous lake house, with arresting and haunting views of the waterfront, the film is told in two parts. In the first part (another) actor-turned-director Allison (Aubrey Plaza) comes to stay at the rural retreat to work on her writer’s block. However, she plays a divisive role by causing friction and sexual tension between the home’s owners struggling musician Gabe (Christopher Abbott) and his pregnant girlfriend Blair (Sarah Gadon).

Starring Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott, Sarah Gadon, Paola Lázaro, Grantham Coleman. VOD, 104 min Plaza excels in this tricksy, surreal cringe comedy, which falls somewhere between Fawlty Towers and Mulholland Drive (and defies easy summary). Gadon and Abbott are the most unmissable actors around. But it’s Plaza’s turn in a script that demands she “..break down and give the best performance that anyone has ever seen ever” – yes, that’s the script direction – that pounces like the ursus of the title. Lawrence Michael Levine’s blisteringly original, provocative, often hilarious screenplay lurches between familiar tropes and jagged edges. It’ll keep you guessing.
