Storyline

Edit

In this dark comedy of manners, soccer moms Jill and Lisa seek the approval of their "friends" - at all costs. This surreal world is just on the edge of consciousness; suburbia through the looking glass. Every adult wears painful braces on their straight teeth, couples coordinate meticulously pressed outfits, and coveted family members become pawns in this competition for acceptance. Greener Grass explores one's willingness to endure present pain in exchange for future validation - or at least a perfect smile.

The film short that in 2019 was expanded into the movie of the same title.

Last night I watched the 2019 feature length movie "Greener Grass" at home on BluRay. On the disc are a few extras and one of them is this earlier short version, which the writers eventually expanded into the movie.

It contains the early scene where one mom gives her baby away to her friend that admires it, and the several other scenes are mostly the same as scenes in the movie. So anyone who has seen the 2019 movie, this short is redundant. However it could be a good view for those who wonder if they should take the time to see the full movie. If you like the short, you'll like the movie. And vice versa.
