An outbreak from in 2014’s Supervisors’ Fortnight (where it premiered together with The Dessert East), Joanna Arnow’s (deep breath) The Feeling That The Time for Doing Something Has Passed will certainly open up on April 26 from Magnolia Photo, in advance of which is an initial trailer.
Rory O’Connor was thrilled upon the movie’s Cannes best: “Developed from a semi-autobiographical screenplay, Passed emits a more endearing, much funnier vulnerability: the kind of jokes that seemed a bit too knowing and cynical in her earlier work now land with delightful fatalism. Arnow stars as Ann, the thirty-something woman in the kind of soulless, mid-level corporate job where a boomer boss calls a meeting to tell you to get on Spotify. Her world is a mosaic of micro-observations: an instant curry that looks like dog food, squeezed from its sachet to the very last drop; the self-satisfied chuckle of someone listening to a podcast on their headphones; a yoga class that’s been Live Laugh Loved to within an inch of its life. Fish in a barrel? Perhaps, but Arnow manages to bring something fresh by simply being so quick and precise: some vignettes last for no more than a few seconds, sometimes cutting just before the punchline.”

Filmmaker Joanna Arnow’s amusing funny, which world-premiered in Cannes’ Supervisors’ Fortnight and is executive generated by Sean Baker, complies with a 30-something New york city lady (Arnow) as time comes on her lasting laid-back BDSM connection, low-level company work, and quarrelsome Jewish household.
