The patron saints of the generation of being Sad Online like made you a movie, and it’s every thing we wanted, of us.
Boygenius, the colossal group formed by Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus, has dropped their label unique album lately, and with it the Kristen Stewart-directed short movie we like been attempting forward to.
Made to accompany The Document, The Film is a 14-minute triptych, a dream promenade through tracks “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry,” “Factual Blue,” which take care of one band member per track. It be a subtle, marvellous tribute to the trio’s deep connection, filmed as a combine of dwelling video-style clips and intimate cinematography.
Anchored by shots of the three making song and sleeping correct through a rainy night, The Film is indubitably three connected song movies. Baker tinkers on an damaged-down car to “$20,” Bridgers sings “Emily I’m Sorry” as monster trucks secure jumps in dull motion, while Dacus renews a room with exciting blue paint to “Factual Blue,” joined by her band contributors.
It be a masterful piece of labor by Stewart that honours the tracks and band contributors personally, but connects them. It be no longer the first time Stewart has directed song movies, having helmed one for Chvrches in 2017(Opens in a novel tab) and Narrative + The Saints in 2014(Opens in a novel tab). She’s also location to adapt Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Chronology of Water(Opens in a novel tab) as a feature movie.
