  Review by Sean Baker 14

  Strong debut. Great dialogue and performances. I found myself quite uncomfortable (in a good way) because the quarrels were very realistic. Heard some of my self in the arguments.

  And Fred Armisen should be in more films.

  Premiered at Sundance in 2017. Watched the Shout Factory Blu-ray.

  Review by demi adejuyigbe ★★★★

  A heartfelt, funny, grounded, sweet sweet indie movie about love, women, emotions, and the music that comes out of them. Such a good idea executed perrrrfectly by Zoe Lister-Jones, who pulls quadruple threat duty in this movie (writer, actor, director, producer) without sacrificing her strength on any one. Damn brilliant.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★

  Surprisingly grounded for a Sundance dramedy about a struggling Los Angeles couple who turn their fights into songs (with the help of a kooky neighbor played by Fred Armisen, of course), “Band Aid” is a thin but knowing portrait of how marriages stretch, sag, and pull back together. It’s a premise that writer, director, producer, star, and lyricist Zoe Lister-Jones knows from first-hand experience, as she and husband Daryl Wein have collaborated on a number of different films together. From scrappy winners like “Breaking Upwards” to undercooked misfires like “Lola Versus,” they’ve never been shy about blurring the line between their personal and professional lives. How ironic that Lister-Jones only finds her voice now that she’s flying solo for the first time.

  “I’ve got a solution. I’ll do the dishes and you can go suck your own dick.”
  
  “You have emotions coming out of your ass.”

  A few funny parts, but overall I did not enjoy watching a married couple fight and say the worst possible shit to each other for 91 minutes. Normalize divorce.

  It started off well enough and then got progressively worse. I wanted to bail towards the end but felt it was too late. 

  I liked Zoe Lister-Jones’ other film, How It Ends (2021). I don’t agree with the mid rating for that, nor the good rating for this.  

  Random thoughts (some of this is nit-picky musician stuff): 

  Cameos from Colin Hanks, Donna from Parks and Recreation, and more.

  All the stars for Fred Armisen. I appreciate the behind-the-scenes success of having a crew of all women, but this is poorly, poorly written. Every featured fight is like one you overhear while shopping at the mall. That doesn't make it any less real, just way less interesting.

  Review by Logan Kenny ★★★★

  fucking brutal stuff, shows the struggle to keep a relationship afloat after a horrific loss, how their own handling of grief manifests into discontent and eventually hatred towards each other, one for repressing, the other for breaking down too drastically. this is a sad movie, one where the seemingly sole hope for this couple is to channel their anger and their pain towards each other and towards the world for inflicting this level of cruelty towards them is to write it and sing it, their art becomes a process of growing together again and finding ways to cope with life. but pain doesn't go away that easy and neither does resentment. this has one of the most painful to watch…
