In a recent interview, Amanda Peet shared a humorous yet mortifying encounter at a grocery store where she was mistakenly recognized as actress Lake Bell. This recurring situation inspired her role in the film 'Fantasy Life,' directed by Matthew Shear, which is notable for both Shear's directorial debut and Peet's return to film after nearly a decade. The film explores themes of anxiety and identity through the character Sam, a law student grappling with demoralization and self-doubt as he navigates his new role as a babysitter.
"It's funny, and it's a little sad, and it's incredibly honest, and it speaks to the spirit in which Shear...set out to write (and then also star in and direct) his first film."
"When we first meet him, he's being laid off from his paralegal job, which sets off a series of panic attacks for this sweet if deeply lost New Yorker."
