Amanda Kramer’s Please Baby Please is endlessly entertaining, filled with intellectual rigor and raw pizzazz. Andrea Riseborough remains undefeated. agracru's review:
College films come in two distinct flavors. First: Films representative of their makers’ jejune worldviews and inexperience, often seen in student films. Second: Films that capture the lightning in a bottle of early-adulthood liberated caprice. Call it the confidence of immaturity, but anybody can make the second flavor of college film at any point in their lives, provided their lives don’t snuff out that spark., exemplifies that specific, unbridled energy perhaps better than her previous two .
But that’s a feature, not a bug. Listening to Riseborough chew on Suze’s grievances over the privileges of manhood, curling her lips and flashing her eyes with each syllable, is endlessly entertaining. A chameleonic actor seemingly capable of shapeshifting in each one of her roles, Riseborough is tasked with remaking Suze over and over again across the film’s run time, from fiery and indignant to thuggish and hyper-masculine.
, where she plays a wreck, to this one, where she’s the one doing the wrecking. But also consider her co-star, Melling, the onlyalumni whose raw talent equals Daniel Radcliffe’s. Riseborough is good; Melling is extraordinary. Arthur, in Melling’s portrayal, is a volcano. He hushes his speech at first, then builds to pyroclastic outbursts of abiding resentment. Everyone—Suze, their friends, Teddy , the Young Gent he hesitantly lusts after—habitually ribs Arthur on account of mismatched male ego. Arthur is neither burly nor tough. He doesn’t choose violence to solve conflicts, and the internal struggle to reconcile his soft masculinity against social expectation is self-inflicted torture.
Kramer keeps her scale small and her scope wide. The film’s stylized dialogue about sexuality and gender identities has titanic intellectual rigor, while locations are limited mostly to humble rooms where her characters are stifled by challenges to their self-preconceptions.
