Bachelorette is mean - spirited, and its
humor derives from pain, which makes it
unique and harder - edged than most comedies
of this
kind.
Reviewers have praised its stellar performances and tight direction, praise that is deserved, but I'd like to highlight what I think makes director Dan Trachtenberg's film
unique: A combination
of suspense so elemental that most
of the movie could easily be performed onstage with the
kind of absurd
humor you might expect to see on FX or Comedy Central.
