Sometimes the most realistic stories are the most difficult for filmmakers to bring to the screen, as most audiences have become increasingly more intrigued by larger, action-driven blockbuster fare. But smaller, relatable indie movies are proving they’re just as relevant and important in the film landscape recently, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shut down or delayed the productions of many bigger studio features. The new drama, ‘If Not Now, When?,’ is an emotionally engaging indie movie that highlights how close friendships between women shape their emotional trajectories in their everyday lives.
