What a mess. No story, no laughs, just bad mothering, a lot of masturbation, bare tits, bare ass, and a naked guy I wish I had never seen All of this to tell us what? That our main character leads a hopelessly miserable life and that her child would be better off in foster care? All of this would be okay, I guess, if there was a reason for it in the form of a narrative or it was even slightly amusing. All of this is done with style, grace, and yes humor in Better Things.
