A disheveled artist trying to pull their life together is an archetype across the world of film, but Megan Stalter’s Cora brings new levels to the love-hate and sometimes cringey feelings we have with these characters. In this tale, Cora requires an open relationship with her girlfriend and then finds the results of this new freedom not to her liking.

 

We often wonder in these stories how circles of friends and family can possibly tolerate these complex and difficult protagonists. Judge for yourself if Cora deserves our love. 

 

Sink or swim, Stalter is the one to watch here as she takes a star turn after her scene-stealing supporting work in HBO’s Hacks. 

Watch Cora Bora on Netflix.
