“Best Friends Forever” is a hidden 2013 gem, and one that warrants a watch for fans of classic road trip films. Bookmark the permalink. Reba is a reckless and often daring character who plays well off of Harriet, who is very shy and meek through most of the film. Even if they establish…Apparently Best Friends Forever is supposed to be a post-apocalyptic road trip movie, however, the two main characters are inconceivably oblivious to the situation for most of the film, as they cruise the desert highways and face the realities of adulthood. Directed by Grant, and written in part with her co-star, Miao, the duo fails to demonstrate much strength both in front of and behind the camera.
Their future is uncertain, but at least they have one another.
Fine. She drags Reba her seemingly devil-may-care BFF, along for the ride. Recs welcome!justwatch doesn't have canadian Kanopy so I have to do all the work myself.
I’ll be honest, I’ve been crushing hard on Brea Grant since her days on “Heroes,” so when I heard she had a movie out where she starred, I made it my mission to watch it. Task 16: Any film that features a cast member from Crazy Rich Asians (that is not Crazy Rich Asians)This feels significantly more relevant right now than it was in 2013, and because of that there's an eerie undertone to this movie that I imagine it wouldn't have had before.

There's little chemistry here, despite both leads…BEST FRIENDS FOREVER is a clever dark comedy and sci-fi horror movie, combining equal parts heartfelt road trip buddy film and apocalyptic disaster story, with two badass girls. It is rare for me to stop a film which I have not seen all of the way through, and Best Friends Forever was one of those rare occasions where I shut it off with 20 minutes remaining. listed alphabetically, as they are on…Stanley Nelson's We Shall Remain V: Wounded Knee (2009) Bill Kurtis' Investigative Reports: BAD TRIP TO EDGEWOOD (1993) You're standing in a barren desert after a technological apocalypse.
I feel like this was written by an slightly, uneducated film school student that was half drunk, pissed off at the world, and at a lame-hipster party. Grant is so adorable in “Best Friends Forever,” she may garner a few more fans. Grant squeezes in her own fun fan girl Easter eggs including an appearance by Sean Maher, voice cameos from Kevin Pereira, and includes a comic book epilogue for the characters.
Grant does a wonderful job directing this picture, giving it an indie flavor with a soft tone that shockingly works well against the apocalyptic back drop.
Best Friends Forever (2013) KAT RATING 10.0 /1 votes. Thankfully, “Best Friends Forever” is a low budget but incredibly well realized apocalyptic horror drama with a geek edge that Grant is now known for. After nuclear bombs explode in four cities, the girls are forced to ask: When faced with the end of the world - what is most important to you?The film (shot in Super 16mm) manages to keep it's quirk throughout and that is really the films strength. Reba wants adventure and to seek out a new journey for the pair, while Harriet is intent on living a life as a librarian. Best Friends Forever (2013) 01/19/2013 (US) Drama 1h 20m User Score. Some reviewers have described this film as "sci-fi horror," with "eery undertones," and "two badass girls," and it makes me wonder if they were confusing this with a different movie. Runtime 113 min. To boot, it garners immense heart and rather fantastic performances by Director/co-star/co-writer Grant and co-writer/co-star Vera Miao, both of whom play friends uncertain of their future that realize the world around them has no future.The great aspect though is that writers Miao and Grant don’t make these two women unlikable. “Best Friends Forever” is a hidden 2013 gem, and one that warrants a watch for fans of classic road trip films. Rated Not Rated. “Best Friends Forever” is basically “Harry & Tonto” meets “A Boy and His Dog.” Except with two beautiful women. Even without the differences in tone from then to now, however, this was a little disappointing. 1. It seemed like my exact aesthetic, but there were some aspects of the writing that I wasn't a big fan of -- namely the anti-climactic end to the countdown that's going on throughout the entire first half of the movie.I would definitely read a comic book continuation of this movie tho.. it'd give them an opportunity to make this as gay as it should have been originally.Low budget crowdsourced female centric road trip/impending apocalypse movie that sidesteps the need to make all female characters sassy in a post-bridesmaids world. Released on 19 Jan 2013. Apparently, all the black people died in the apocalypse.Ten minutes in and I feel this movie is boringly generic. I just... was really really bored.... made it halfway, a little bit after the "carjacking"In execution, the plot was almost standard sitcom. In 2013? Harriet, a comic book artist with a secret, and her reckless BFF, Reba, take their '76 AMC Pacer on the open road and instead get a wild ride towards an impending nuclear apocalypse.
The friendship and their highs and lows are generic as hell. They make a point to say the radio stations are all out. I’m glad to see that she’s written a movie with the It's original, but not interesting. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER is a clever dark comedy and sci-fi horror movie, combining equal parts heartfelt road trip buddy film and apocalyptic disaster story, with two badass girls.
