‘Mr. Roosevelt’
Writer, director, and star Noël Wells has created a millennial masterpiece with Mr. Roosevelt, now streaming on Netflix. The movie about a comedian who heads back to her hometown to bury a loved one, so perfectly captures what it means to be a young adult today. While she wraps her head around her ex’s new life, and his annoyingly perfect new girlfriend, she also must come to grips with where her career is (and mostly isn’t) going. As she makes friends and mistakes along the way, the indie film remains entertaining, relatable, and utterly charming throughout, providing the perspective that maybe figuring out your life can be kind of fun after all.
