Medicine for Melancholy (2008)

Waking up the morning after a party, two strangers find themselves in bed together and end up spending the rest of the day meandering around San Francisco together. It’s a bit of a more low-key, lower budget, modern city version of Before Sunrise. I had been curious about seeing Wyatt Cenac as an actor when this was first released and pushed it higher on my queue after seeing Barry Jenkins’s more recent efforts. It didn’t draw me in greatly, but I enjoyed the few moments where the city came across as a character itself and when it felt like the two main characters were making connections as people instead of actors just going through the motions.
