Featured review
7.5 stars.
Without the strong acting performances, this film would struggle. The ensemble cast shines in their respective roles. The story centers around Matti, a gifted mechanic pursuing an engineering career in the city. Despite her talents, she continually misses out on promotions.
Jake, the male lead, works as a mechanic in her father's garage back home and harbors a long-time crush on Matti. Her mechanical prowess has influenced his career choice.
Returning home to serve as her sister's maid of honor, Matti reconnects with Jake, who is the best man. Together, they restore her late mother's truck amidst wedding preparations. He obviously wants more than a friendship, but she seems unaware of his feelings. However, complications arise when Matti's snobbish city boyfriend unexpectedly arrives, causing tension.
Throughout the film, resentment simmers between Matti and Jake, exacerbated by Clare's growing discontent with her fiancé. The escalating tension hints at a potential breakup before the wedding. Amidst this turmoil, Matti's anger continues to flare towards both her boyfriend and Jake, resulting in discord among everyone involved.
In essence, the film adeptly portrays the dynamics and "mechanics" of resentment leading up to a wedding, creating an atmosphere of intense awkwardness. Viewers are left wondering if the wedding will proceed amidst the unfolding emotional turmoil.
We know how it ends, they never change the formula for these types of films, however the seething discontent is palpable and refreshing.
