Neon has been on fire this year, they have cranked out so many films this year and they are all worth the watch. Among them is the film Stress Positions. This is one of their smaller films this year, I am not sure how widely it was marketed. I know that I didn’t see that much about it, but that can be a sign of a brilliant film, so let’s see if this one will be worth some awards conversations. I think this film for me also reminded me how to separate my personal opinion from objective analysis. A skill that is certainly dying on the internet. Just because I don’t like something doesn’t make it bad.

Stress Positions is a great character study, perhaps the best character study film we’ve gotten in a while. That said it wasn’t really my genre. I very much like a plot and character development which is not what this film was for. I understand its purpose, it’s just not my thing. So my objective ranking of the movie as a film is 8/10, my personal preference rating for anyone that cares is a 6/10. In neither viewpoint is the movie bad, and it definitely worth the watch.
