Party movies always try to be about more than a party. Like one of the genre’s most famous entries,
Dazed and Confused, they usually feature adolescents on the precipice of early adulthood.
The Get Together, the latest from Texan filmmaker Will Bakke and his cowriter Michael B. Allen, and now available for streaming, centers on a quintessentially modern phenomenon: college graduates caught somewhere between adolescence and adulthood and looking for a distraction from their jobs, roommates, and changing relationships.
The Get Together offers a glimpse of the joys and pains of becoming an adult, but it doesn’t dig deep enough.
Remember parties? Alejandro Rose-Garcia, aka Austin musician Shakey Graves, is sending out the invite with
The Get Together, the new comedy-drama about one night at a very Austin bash. The movie arrives on VOD next week, just as everyone is considering at least a little socializing again. We were joking about it being an instructional video, Rose-Garcia said. Yes, it s probably in the backyard, you ll probably have to play some kind of ball/cup drinking game stuff, and people will be like, Yeah, right, right, right. Remember people? added director Will Bakke. When we made this, it made us super nostalgic thinking about our 20s, and then when the pandemic hit it took on a life of its own.
