Indie Comics Titan Adrian Tomine Gets the Cinematic Treatment in Randall Park's Shortcomings

Adrian Tomine gets the Ghost World treatment as his excellent graphic novel Shortcomings is turned into a prickly feature by Randall Park. Here's Tomine fan rockmarooned's Sundance2023 review:

“There wasn’t a real character in the whole thing,” grouses Ben to his girlfriend Miko as they leave a movie screening Miko has just organized, clarifying that he was looking in vain for a normal, flawed human being. Though the movie is unnamed, its closing scene, which doubles as the opening scene of. Like the heroes of the film-within-the-film, Ben and Miko are Asian-American, but Ben doesn’t see himself in the glossy big-studio romance Miko has scored for her film festival programming.

Though Ben inhabits a very 2023 world of #RepresentationMatters, his dynamics with Miko and the rest of the world, remains appropriately unchanged. He tries what he may well consider his best to maintain a functional, long-term, live-in relationship with Miko, built on their seemingly similar cultural heritage and seemingly overlapping interests. What he sees as mild, playful contrarianism has worn on Miko, especially as she notices Ben’s uncomfortable attraction to white girls.
