13:00. Comedy. USA 2019, 95 min. Directed by Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe. Starring: D'Arcy Carden, Dot-Marie Jones, Neil Casey. In English with Russian subtitles. In a day-glo-colored, bizarro version of suburbia where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers, soccer moms and best friends Jill (Jocelyn DeBoer) and Lisa (Dawn Luebbe) are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that takes a turn into the sinister when Lisa begins systematically taking over every aspect of Jill's life--starting with her newborn daughter. Meanwhile, a psycho yoga teacher killer is on the loose, Jill's husband (Beck Bennett) has developed a curious taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. That's just the tip of the gloriously weird iceberg that is the feature debut from writers-directors Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, a hilariously demented, Stepford Wives-on-acid satire destined to be an instant cult classic.

But the simplicity of the form hides a deep, inspiring drama about the strength of the human spirit, friendship, unbreakable hope, and true freedom. This film, topping the IMDB and Kinopoisk best-of-all-time lists, is returning to the big screen.
