A bartender powers through her job while recovering from a recent precancerous cervical surgery, blood and memories oozing as she chit-chats with customers over another beer-soaked shift. Director Emily Lerer has crafted a profound depiction of hidden trauma in the workspace, handled with compassion and taboo-smashing boldness. – Mitch Davis
