Pendular

I made the effort to watch Pendular. The film follows two self-proclaimed artists, who possess little to no real talent, sharing both their lives and a studio. On top of that, they struggle with communication, both professionally and socially. What unfolds is a series of attempts at creating art, interspersed with rather explicit sexual scenes. Due to their poor communication, they realize too late that their art is not well-received. The situation worsens when the man discovers, again belatedly due to miscommunication, that his partner had been pregnant and underwent an abortion, which strains their relationship. That's essentially the plot. While the acting appears natural, it isn't strong enough to carry the film. Overall, it's a rather dull movie.
