What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stress Positions plays on familiar seriocomic tropes with sporadic verve, although the characters are occasionally more interesting than the story they're being used to tell.

Stress Positions feels like a movie that is orchestrated as much as directed and Hammel’s intuitive grasp on the rhythms of everyday conversation are a thing of wonder, granting the film an extraordinary energy and almost palpable freshness Go to Full Review

If the film concentrated more on this and less on the increasingly chaotic proceedings on display, it might have become more than an endless litany of smug obnoxiousness. Go to Full Review

Kalissa H @kali_416 Jul 10 This movie had no business being that entertaining See more The H Feb 19 Movie during lockdown covid times, neat ! This is one of those movies just about life & how different people live, but it wasn't boring or dull, the dialogue & characters were funny & I was laughing throughout even though I didn't necessary like any of them. It did a good job showcasing why the pandemic took so much longer in the US vs other countries because nobody was following the distance rule or masks seriously here like they should've been.

See more Michael V 12/20/2024 Stress Positions is a 2024 American comedy drama film directed by Theda Hammel (in her feature directorial debut) 🍿 Can’t recommend it. Oof, this isn’t good 🙁 Probably give it a miss 👎🏼 S Terry Goon is keeping strict quarantine in his ex-husband’s Brooklyn brownstone while caring for his nephew — a 19-year-old model from Morocco named Bahlul — bedridden in a full leg cast after an electric scooter accident.

I found it to be simultaneously boring, disturbing, meaningless with pathetic acting. I honestly almost walked out several times but then began to delight in just how awful it was.
