Black Bear is released on digital platforms from 23Â April.
Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon inhabit a number of roles in Lawrence Michael Levineâs 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 itâs 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.
