Megan Stalter makes the most of her first leading role in ‘Cora Bora,’ a comedy that’s soaked in heartache, trauma, and self-discovery. Our SXSW2023 review:
The SXSW film festival has kind of harnessed a reputation of being the “cool” festival. Taking place in Austin, Texas, a city that’s also earned its respected status in the entertainment industry, it includes comedy, music, and since 1994, film and television. While it showcases genres across the board, from its extensive and gritty late-night horror lineup to thought-provoking documentaries, SXSW has a special place in its heart for comedy.
Directed by Hannah Pearl Utt and written by Shiva Baby and Palm Trees and Power Lines executive producer Rhianon Jones, this film follows the dysfunctional Cora, an emotionally fragile but outwardly confident woman who is dealing with a lot of things. Aside from the regular, daily irritations that come with being a human who has to deal with other humans, she’s trying to get her music career some—any—traction, while also doing her best to maintain her relationship with her girlfriend.
While music is a significant portion of Cora’s identity and journey, her tricky love life is at the core of the story. She’s in an open relationship with Justine, played by Fresh and Something at Tiffany’s star Jojo T. Gibbs, who lives in Portland and has essentially moved on with a woman named Riley . Yes, it’s an open relationship, but, that qualifier’s potency is waning rapidly.
