ju reviewed Stop Me If You've Heard This One by Kristen Arnett
Funny, raw and tender
4 stars
A really funny comedy about a young lesbian clown who's trying to figure out her life in central Florida. So while I'm still not too impressed by clowns in general, there were a lot a good musings about the art of clowning, about the parallels between being queer and a clown, about capitalism and central Florida. It felt at times like the narrator was more 18 than 28 in how she handled things, but maybe it's just me growing old—after all, I can't pretend I had my shit figured out at 28.
