Ever wonder why we exist? I pondered this deeply this morning, especially focusing on the part where we all die alone. But, there's a distraction - a movie! "The Coffee Table" now streams on Tubi, and oh boy, it's something else.
It's last year's controversial horror hit by mysterious director Caye Casas. Remember, the brave watch; the meek, well, keep being you. Now, the plot: Jesús, against his wife María’s wishes, buys an outrageously ugly coffee table. As if bad taste were a sin, this table then becomes the centerpiece for a ghastly act of violence, while María is out, probably thankful she missed it.
When María returns and guests appear, chaos reigns. It’s horrifying, yet there’s something darkly comic about the absurdity of it all. Sometimes I wish life was as straightforward as just dealing with an ugly coffee table. Instead, here I am, writing and debating whether to vanish into the oblivion or stream "The Coffee Table".
The film itself, welI, it's all over the place – like my thoughts on existence. Middle part drags with dread and the overused tropes of despair. Indeed, despair feels like my middle name these days.
In conclusion, if you're like me, wondering about the end, just watch this movie. It's on Tubi for free – that's right, the best price for questioning souls. And hey, if we must suffer, why not do it entertained? On a final note, anyone else feel comforted by the idea that at least movies can't leave you to die alone? No? Just me then?
