Gentle but sharply observed, Good Posture is an uncommon cinematic look at an intergenerational female relationship.

Wells’s coolly indirect way with dialogue prevents the movie becoming insufferable in the way that it might have done in other hands. It is like a short story that insouciantly signs off before you’ve quite decided what it means.

Wells’s bracingly spiky writing vividly draws both the characters and the connections between them.

It’s a small, lightweight picture but Good Posture is alive to the messy realities of becoming a grown-assed adult, becoming more charming and involving as it goes on. It also suggests a bright future for writer-director Dolly Wells.
