We’re (not) having a moment is a darkly absurd, sharply funny dramedy about Arlo, a 34-year-old alcoholic, 1,872 days sober, trying to survive in a surreal, misogyny-soaked Melbourne. Haunted by Generic Superhero Man — a ridiculous, powerless Batman-type who lives in her mind — Arlo faces the quiet chaos of addiction, patriarchy, and mental illness with biting satire and raw honesty. Inspired by creator Ellen Grimshaw’s real-life experience, the film is a fierce, funny look at staying sober in a world that keeps pushing you down.
