Two-Bit Waltz
In the wonderfully dysfunctional tradition of The Royal Tenenbaums, teenage years are always messy… but for Maude, things couldn't seem more tragic. Within one week just prior to her 18th birthday, she is suspended from school, stranded by her best friend, dumped by the boy she “loves”, and Granny just died leaving her an enormous amount of money under one condition: Maude must go to college which she does not want to do and her wildly eccentric family is no help at all. Of course… It's a comedy!
Reviews
“Rising star Clara Mamet makes a memorable writing and directorial debut with this semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale where she also plays a suicidal teen struggling to find her place in the world.” – Baret News
“Dysfunctional clans fairly litter the indie-verse these days, but there's a strange charm in this young Mamet pretending it's original.” – L.A Times
“Clara Mamet makes her film directing debut with “Two-Bit Waltz,” an inconsequential, self-consciously quirky coming of age comedy from an actress-playwright testing her movie-making wings at the ripe old age of 20.” – Movie Nation
