A woman moves on.
Rachel is a recent divorcee decluttering her closet, trying to figure out what "sparks joy" à la Marie Kondo. When she comes across her old wedding dress, she realizes it no longer makes her happy to have it and decides to get rid of it.
But unloading the dress proves more difficult than Rachel expects. Even though she puts it out on the street, no one wants to take this symbol of her failed marriage. Its presence only compounds the feelings of failure that have plagued Rachel all her life, starting with the sudden loss of her childhood best friend, who simply dropped her. After a suggestion from her therapist, Rachel decides to revisit this childhood friendship -- and finds herself an unexpected way to move forward.
Directed and written by Tova Hopemark, this quirky yet measured slice-of-life dramedy is essentially a character portrait of a woman at sea emotionally after a recent divorce, reckoning with her new place in life and putting it in context within her wider emotional history. We first meet Rachel in the midst of an epic closet clean-out, going through each item, holding them up to her heart and deciding whether they spark joy. When she gets to her wedding dress, she realizes she actually sparks the opposite: it makes her feel sad, like a failure.
The film's style is both grounded and quietly whimsical, even-keeled in its understatement but with flourishes of dry humor that keep the proceedings from being weighed down with melodrama. Though the film's dialogue is on the pared-down side -- its humor traffics more in awkward silences than quicksilver verbal ripostes -- Rachel is earnest, a little goofy and winningly sincere.
As Rachel, actor Tova Hopemark is a transparent, expressive presence, conveying both her immediate emotional reactions and the unspoken sentiments she refuses to look at or give voice to. That refusal to look deeper is partly why she's having a hard time shaking her feeling of inadequacy. Her sharp feelings of loss have a deeper origin, and since her divorce is too fresh, she goes back to the source to find closure.
That confrontation doesn't go quite the way she expects. Instead, she's humorously confronted with the ways people change and the simple but essential reminder that often people's ups and downs have much more to do with their own foibles and fumbles. True to the modus operandi of YOUNG HOT DIVORCEE, the way it plays out is quirky, a little unexpected and deeply human. It should also ring true to anyone who has ever had to soldier on after a jarring life event, summoning the confidence to move on and the sometimes bittersweet optimism to imagine brighter days ahead.
