beat sheet
- Conner O'Malley's latest film 'Rap World' adopts a distinctly 21st-century visual language, using grainy, shaky DV footage and in-camera filters to create a faux document of early 2000s malaise.
- The film's sense of realism, from the characters' financial struggles to their proto-shitposting dialogue, makes it feel like a 'Meantime for middle America,' capturing the suburban despondence of a generation trapped by the broken promises of the internet age.
