But what wins out are the performances, which pack plenty of pathos within such charming, frail packages. Gemsch, in particular, is soulful and gorgeous as Alice, a church mouse who throws herself into the hedonism she spent her life avoiding like a duck to water. The way she peels back Alice’s layers of repression inch by inch, from the uptight housewife in Act 1 to the relaxed, liberated person she becomes in the closing minutes, is the film’s primary magic trick.
“There are other options than marriage or solitude,” a character tells Alice late in the film. This is where “Golden Years” finds its most invigorating footing, especially as it zigs where most late-life romantic dramedies zag. Instead of treating bisexual flings or trips to a “socio-feminist collective” as temporary detours on a road that leads back to monogamy, Volpe’s script dares to ask its characters whether they owe it to themselves to let go of old ways of thinking and find something that works for them.
It’s frothy and insubstantial, but at least takes its central idea — life’s too short, start a polycule — seriously enough to be charming.Lily Sullivan, who broke through with an impressively physical performance in last year’s “Evil Dead Rise,” gives a remarkable one-woman show in Matt Vesely’s effective “Monolith,” a sci-fi thriller that somehow finds a way to make podcasting cinematic (mostly). It does so by mining what feels like that current of rising anxiety in the international consciousness for an old-fashioned slow burn of a sci-fi thriller.
You know what I mean. It’s in the TikToks you stumble upon that are about purported glitches in the matrix or The Mandela Effect — a sense that something is wrong. Of course, anxiety isn’t new, but technology like podcasts seems to have amplified the conspiracy and anxiety receptors in the human brain. Or united people in a common understanding that everything is not what it seems. It depends on how you look at it.
