“What interested me was trying to find my way into motherhood being funny. In our media, it’s a very saccharine thing. We’re not supposed to talk about the dark side, which, to me, is the funny side of it.”
Can I still play an adult?, Sarah Adina Smith’s new dark comedy, which captures the celebratory mood of a friend’s tropical-destination wedding fizzling out as a solipsistic bunch of close friends grow distant. Lex’s husband begins second-guessing their decision to have a baby, and the free-flowing cocktails at the resort start to taste bitter. It’s not exactly a happy assessment of parenthood and relationships.
The film, albeit a comedy, does confront motherhood and shame. How was navigating that subject through the character of Lex? It was really exciting to use the shame you’re taught and reverse it and talk about all of it. There’s a seriousness to it and there’s humor. If you can’t laugh at the dark parts of life, you’re in trouble, I think.really taps into this uncomfortable side of comedy and is sometimes painful to watch. What was the atmosphere like on set?
