Rare Beasts (2019)

 'Rare Beasts' is the directorial debut of Billie Piper, who also writes and stars. Piper is a single mother of an autistic son, who must decide if she can really see herself marring the traditionalist guy she's dating (Leo Bill). This is kind of the anti-romantic comedy, everything is messy and compromised, but true. At first Billie thinks Leo is the last man she wants, but finds that maybe he's the man she needs, maybe.  Throughout the whole film I kept thinking about Jordan Peterson, to whom this movie is partly in sympathy and partly in critique. There are alot of interesting ideas here, they don't entirely coalesce, but its intriguing. **1/2
