For those who actively watch Netflix, surely massive amounts of independent films quite often pop up as suggestions for viewing.

While scrolling though Netflix recently, I realized that seldom do I watch any of the suggested movies trying to pry their way into my queue. Feeling practically guilty for neglecting this strong facet of Netflixdom, I decided to search until I found something interesting, and I came upon a film with one of my favorite comediennes, Kristen Wiig.

The title: Girl Most Likely (2013). The plot: Imogene (Wiig), a 30-something year old magazine writer, faces awkward situations, heartbreak, and disappointment, and must come to terms with the fact that she is not as “on top” of her life as she thought she was. After being subjected to what may very well be the worst week of her life, Imogene has to find her own independence and happiness in order to get her life back on track.

Girl Most Likely succeeds as a dark comedy by taking situations that many have gone through – in some capacity—and exaggerating them to a point of hilarity. While it is ill-advised, and possibly cruel, to laugh at another person’s troubles, Wiig makes it increasing difficult to muffle giggles due to her whiney character portrayal and flare for physical comedy.

Girl Most Likely also features well-known talents like Golden Globe Winner Annette Bening, There’s Something About Mary’s Matt Dillon, and Glee’s Darren Criss.

I suggest that everyone go laugh at Kristen Wiig’s pain in Girl Most Likely, and look for other independent films on Netflix. They’re worth the time!
