Cazzie David’s Feature Debut Is a Grotesque Anti-Rom Com

Dating is hell. Consider this: You’ve finally made it out of the “talking stage”—when you text non-stop but never actually see each other—and you’re ready to go on an actual in-person date. You throw together a fashionable fit, but you sweat through the shirt and have to redo it. You can’t stop nervous pooping. Does your breath smell? Does your hair look bad? At a certain point, everything is settled, so you make one giant leap for singlekind and step out your front door. You head to the restaurant, or the movie theater, or wherever the first date is. You feel hot. (Literally, because again, you can’t stop sweating.)

And that person you’ve been texting non-stop all week? They're a manipulative jerk. You did all this for nothing.

This nightmare becomes a reality in I Love You Forever, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival on Saturday. Directed by Elisa Kalani and Cazzie David—daughter of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David—the dark comedy peers into the life of Mackenzie (Sofia Black-D’Elia), who finally finds Mr. Right, but soon realizes he’s Mr. Absolutely-the-Fuck-Not.
