Jenny Slate plays a young artist whose life isn't exactly going as planned. She ends up taking the only opportunity available to get away. In this case it is a job assisting an artist nobody cares about who is painting a barn in isolated Norway. Maybe the movie isn't going to bowl you over or tell you anything that you didn't know. But this blissfully short film was exactly the vibe I needed after weeks of doom scrolling. Even when everything is going completely wrong, life can somehow come together in perfectly random ways, if only for a moment at a time.
