Synopsis
It's November on the eve of our Presidential election and five New York couples debate different views from unexpected sources. Watch what happens in the lead-up to and the aftermath of Donald Trump's surprise victory and how political differences humorously turn personal as an apolitical model, a Democratic dominatrix, and a Black gay Trump supporter--grapple with clashing ideologies, crumbling patience, and the limits of love and tolerance. As debates escalate, politics get personal.
"I woke up on November 9, 2016 with a post-election hangover," says Szuper. "This film was my way of processing the madness--and making people laugh through it. With the threat of a second Trump term looming, the film feels more relevant than ever."
Can't Let It Go with support from The James Ivory Foundation was primarily self-funded. Szuper's satirical yet heartfelt storytelling draws comparisons to indie classics like Clerks and Living in Oblivion.
Cast: Mario Cantone, Ella Loudon, Amy Blackman, Devika Bhise, Alison Fraser, David Fierro, Rick Younger, Roy Szuper, Esther Caroline Levy, Jonathan Crimeni
Hailed as the "ultimate post-election hangover comedy," the film was an official selection of the Morelia International Film Festival and won Best Feature Film at the Berlin Indie Film Festival. With biting humor and emotional insight, Can't Let It Go explores the raw, absurd, and often hilarious impact of political polarization on relationships.
