Pet Names

A winningly sharp Millennial riff on the greens of summer.

Going to the woods without any plan for what to do once you get there is half the fun of camping. It does not, however, make for particularly gripping cinema.

This meditation on friendship sneaks up on the viewer, making it more than the sum of its parts.

It's a testament to the power of cinema that the Wisconsin-made film "Pet Names" makes going camping with your ex seem like a pretty fun idea.
