Don't Tear Yourself Apart (2023)
Off beat indie with crazy iPhone visuals
TL;DR unique off beat indie that was made under harsh conditions. Not action packed. It's a film that should really be watched when in the mood for something like it.

I vibed with this film because I like indies. This one loads up powder for a while before lighting any fuses, though. So keep that in mind if you're looking for something that keeps delivering hits throughout.
They claim this was filmed during Covid lockdowns, which is pretty wicked. It's not something I could tell when watching.
It's a unique concept for a film and the characters are interesting (some great actors mixed in this cast; some so-so). I'm being pretty chill in my criticism. I think if I was rating this film against a non-indie, it would be more like 6.5/7. Being generous here given the circumstances.
LA looks way different than usual here, so that's cool too.
