ATLFF 2014 fave "Obvious Child" opens in Atlanta this week
/
If you missed Obvious Child at the festival in April, your chance to see this "honest and raw comedy" (Salon) has come.
Synopsis: Donna Stern is a 27-year-old Brooklyn comedian whose unapologetically lewd, warmhearted wit is pretty irresistible with audiences. When she gets heartlessly 'dumped up with' by her two-timing boyfriend, Donna plunges into some light stalking and heavy moping. Hitting a serious low point, she performs a dreary set of break-up vengeance and Holocaust jokes and drunkenly falls into bed with a nice young professional named Max—not remotely her type. A few weeks later, condoms be damned, she’s pregnant. As her date with Planned Parenthood draws near, she must confront her doubts and fears like never before. Directed by Gillian Robespierre, starring Jenny Slate.
