Like a Boss

Directed by Miguel Arteta1h 23m2020

Two female friends with very different ideals decide to start a beauty company together. One is more practical, while the other wants to earn her fortune and live a lavish lifestyle.

Our read: Like a Boss (2020) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
