The quintessential ski movie has already been made a gazillion times and every iteration is basically the same. With Weak Layers, Katie Burrell manages to satirize the tired trope in a super-satisfying way and also do something totally fresh and new. The film is just the right amount of self-aware and infuses her bitingly funny, quirky sense of humor. It's smart without being pretentious, winks at those who have lived the ski town life without feeling like an inside joke, and like every piece of KB comedy, brings exactly enough sincerity to make it feel like you're sharing a chairlift with your bestie-but not in a sappy way. An awesome debut and I hope it's far from her last!
