Sitting in Bars with Cake is a dramedy based on the true story of
best friends Corinne and Jane. Corinne, the more outgoing and life of the
party, persuades her reserved friend Jane, a talented baker, to bring cakes to
bars as a means to boost her confidence and meet potential partners. However,
their adventure takes an unexpected turn when Corinne receives a life-altering
diagnosis, putting their friendship to the test like never before.
Director
Selma Vilhunen, does a great job of balancing the film's comedic and dramatic
elements. While there are some genuinely funny moments, the movie also tackles
challenging and emotional subjects with sensitivity and respect.
I
appreciated the diversity of the cast. The characters were decently well formed
so it was easy to connect to them. Yara Shahidi and Odessa A'zion gave
outstanding performances as Jane and Corinne, respectively. Their on-screen
chemistry was palpable, and they skillfully encapsulated the profound love and
friendship that defined the core of this story. Additionally, the casting of
Bette Midler proved to be a delightful surprise and a valuable addition to the
ensemble, leaving a lasting impression with her memorable performance.
Sitting in Bars with Cake takes you on an emotional roller coaster,
but at its heart was a cinematic gem that reminded us of the enduring power of
human connections. It's a hopeful and uplifting narrative that is must-see for
those who appreciate heartwarming true stories brought to life by exceptional
acting.
