Plot Summary

In what looks like a simple night out for Tash, Femi, and Noor, it’s actually the end of a challenging day for some. When it comes to Tash, the challenge is dealing with a mom who may need her more than she likes, and there is a lack of opportunity for her to do better. For their friends who meet them there, Jack and Mol, it is a day of notable change. Mol just cut their hair off, and Jack? He reappears after losing his job.

Luckily, while we won’t say they aren’t going through anything, Femi and Noor are there to support their friends, and the group corrals when any of them look like or ask for help.

    Review

    Your twenties, maybe even your thirties, are a challenging time. There are so many timelines, some biological, like if you are a woman who wants to have kids, and many others are general, based on the idea you should have your stuff together by this age, move out, have good credit, etc. It’s all very overwhelming, and as shown by Tash, even with having good friends, that is a boon and a bust.

    It’s great for the support system, but it can also create a challenge as you find yourself wanting to be happy for someone while questioning what’s going on with you? But, while some journeys need to be done alone, like Mol’s renewal by cutting their hair, others, like Jack, who seemingly is developing a drinking problem, need help.

    Sometimes accountability is the best answer, and while it is easy to isolate, hide, and pretend, that’s not what friends are for. That’s not why you make people your chosen family. You pick them to see you raw, in progress, or when you are stumbling. They aren’t social media friends who only see you at your best; they see all the takes it took to make that picture.

    Which, even at 12 minutes, “Cat Burns – Early Twenties” provokes. All the feelings of waiting, freedom, and knowing that some things you can do on your own, but others require a helping hand.
