Dir. Theda Hammel / 2024 / USA / 95 mins
Terry Goon is keeping a strict Covid quarantine in his ex-husband’s Brooklyn home while caring for his nephew Bahul, a 19-year-old model from Morocco, bedridden after an electric scooter accident. Unfortunately for Terry, everyone in his life wants to meet The Model.
Descending on the dilapidated house, breaking Terry’s cherished lockdown rules and putting his barely-formed political convictions to the test, this electric debut from writer, director and star Theda Hammel cements itself as a comedic cesspool of queer, Covid and Millennial anxieties.
A sharp, borderline offensive satire with an imperfect pseudo-documentary flare, Stress Positions holds up the mirror to the claustrophobic, introspective moments of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to look at our queer connections and laugh at relationships sometimes forged more out of convenience and need for community than from choice.
