None of the characters were likable and the story was meh. Why was I supposed to care about anything that was happening...

Existentialism in film has given us masterpieces from Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky and many other accomplished directors. Searching for the meaning of life in a world you don’t understand or can’t relate to is a universal theme of despair that film has used for decades. Existentialism can also come across as entitled whining when characters search for answers through the windows of their multi-leveled apartment in New York City.
Accommodations is a derivative film from first-time writer-director Amy Miller Gross that would have worked better as a lengthy Facebook post you could read and forget about.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Edie Somner (Kat Foster) is married with children yet on the edge of divorce and dealing with the ups and downs of her husband’s career when she decides to stop accommodating everyone else and bring some type of meaning to ger life.

The need for Edie to get more out of her life may be lost on me, as I’ve never made $275,000 a year, much less run up a decorating bill like that. As a result, her issues — she never gets to write what she wants and gives up so much of her life to everyone else — is lost on me. Wake…
