Synopsis
Support the Girls (2018) is an American comedy-drama to watch online, written and directed by Andrew Bujalski, with Regina Hall at the center of almost every frame. It runs ninety-one minutes and covers a single shift at a highway sports bar called Double Whammies.
Lisa is the general manager. Today the ceiling has a hole from an overnight break-in, one of her servers is hiding in the locker room in tears, the owner is on the phone about optics, and the lunch rush is coming regardless. Haley Lu Richardson and Shayna McHayle play two of the staff who orbit Lisa like she is the only stable thing in the building. They are not wrong.
Hall gives one of the more underrated American performances of that year — a woman who keeps other people's lives held together until she literally cannot anymore. The film is not about drama. It is about what holding it together actually costs. Stream Support the Girls (2018) online on iFILM.
