Watchlist:

Determined to party at Sundance, three entitled young women meet up at an LA member's only club to make a selection-worthy short film. In an unholy fusion of wokeness and cluelessness, they build a narrative from atop the high perch of their privilege. And piece-by-piece, they almost give a voice to the voiceless—without having any idea what they're talking about. But they are positioned to make it happen.

Critical Reception & Ratings

For Your Consideration (2020) is a divisive satire directed by Poppy Gordon that follows three entitled young women as they attempt to make a Sundance-worthy short film, exposing their cluelessness and privilege in the process. While the film has not received major awards recognition, it has garnered mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its biting social commentary and others finding it too heavy-handed in its approach.

For Your Consideration (2020) offers a delightfully satirical exploration of the self-important, out-of-touch attitudes of young, privileged filmmakers, directed with a sharp eye for comedic timing by Poppy Gordon. The film's trio of entitled protagonists, played with scene-stealing energy by Samantha Robinson, Juliette Goglia, and Ava Capri, attempt to craft a 'woke' short film at a prestigious film festival, unintentionally revealing their own cluelessness and disconnect from the real issues they claim to champion.
