Greener Grass Is the Movie 2019 Needs Right Now

Greener Grass, the debut feature film of comedy duo Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe is a very, very, very refreshing break from almost every norm imaginable. Arguably, amidst a never-ending conveyor belt of film adaptations and sequels, this hysterical, pastel-saturated fever dream is the film, we feel, that we need right now. 

Every inch and every second of Greener Grass, from the color palate, to the shot selection, the pacing, rhythm, perfect crack-in-the-veer performances from the entire cast, and the plethora of golf carts seems so carefully orchestrated, yet done with a rebellious abandon that we happen to really dig. 

We could go on and on with the echoes of David Lynch, Todd Solondz, and so many more influences, but Greener Grass achieves it own offbeat identity that is so charmingly weird, even in its most absurd and tragic moments.

So, go see Greener Grass wherever you can (and push for it to play in wider release if you can).

Please Enjoy the Beautiful Weirdness in the “Greener Grass” Trailer

The equations in which you could try to make a comparison for Greener Grass are endless thanks to it bright and joyful color palate, unflinchingly bizarre world, and the characters that take said bizarre world as is. It’s so wild and out there that you’re trying to make any sense of what demented wonder lies in store when Greener Grass hits theaters (that’ll be on Oct. 18th FYI).

For us, it’s somewhere between a John Waters movie and an episode of Arrested Development, done up in the world of At Home with Amy Sedaris (with healthy sprinkling of magical realism thrown in). 

This feature debut from Dawn Luebbe and Jocelyn DeBoer really does like a doozy and we can’t wait to visit their world of Greener Grass.

See for yourself in the trailer here, then look for Greener Grass in theater on Oct. 18th.
