Joblo Review: Brad’s Status
Joblo
Your enjoyment of BRAD’S STATUS will depend on how much you mind listening to comfortable people whining about their great lives. It’s well-worn territory that Woody Allen’s made a brilliant career out of, with director Mike White (THE GOOD GIRL) bringing his own perspective to the fore. Middle class ennui could have made this intolerable, were it not for the fact that White, from the outset, makes it clear that he agrees with us – Brad is privileged and shouldn’t complain. More of an exploration of this sense of entitlement than some Capra-like tale of a man learning to love what he has, BRAD’S STATUS is smartly written, directed and acted.
