The celebrated playwright Annie Baker, writing and directing her first film, excels in observing time and place in Janet Planet, with memorable characters and a funny, poignant narrative.
Baker's knack for naturalism shines through in Janet Planet, allowing characters like Lacy and Janet to unfold realistically, embodying the same stammers and silences of everyday conversation seen in her plays.
Despite hints of Baker's theater background in Janet Planet, the movie remains authentic, thanks to Maria von Hausswolff's cinematography with natural light and intricate details, creating a transporting visual experience.
