Description: Two strangers cross paths in the indie film “Pretty Problems,” sparking laughter and an unexpected connection. Lindsay, working at a consignment boutique in Los Angeles, meets the vibrant and wealthy Cat during a wine-fueled shopping spree. Their interaction quickly deepens, leading Lindsay and her reserved husband, Jack, to join Cat for a weekend at her sprawling estate in Sonoma. Despite Jack’s initial suspicions—joking about the possibility of a “weird, rich person sex thing” or even a sinister scenario like “The Purge”—the trip unfolds as a comedic exploration of class differences and personal growth.
The film, written by Michael Tennant and directed by Kestrin Pantera, delves into Lindsay’s journey of self-discovery, marital challenges, and the realization that her life needs a shake-up. However, the story’s drawn-out narrative and predictable conclusion leave much to be desired. While the movie aims to humorously critique the lifestyles and first-world problems of the wealthy, Cat’s character, portrayed brilliantly by JJ Nolan, emerges as the film’s most compelling element, overshadowing its broader comedic intent.
